Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The reading materials that I have requested will help expand our little library area. My students have blossomed into the world of literature since we've returned to in-person learning and we want to keep growing their interest. The donations to this project will help meet the needs of our students who love the written language. It will help the sparkle I see when they pick up a book keep sparkling. We are helping build a foundation to the written language through books and with your help we can. Thank You.
