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

I want to make our library a place where students are excited to be. Last year, our students and staff worked incredibly hard—and it paid off! We met all our growth goals, and with a strong academic system in place, it’s time to give our library programming the glow-up my students deserve.

With funding for after-school programming at an all-time low, I want to offer students a safe, welcoming space during lunch and after school where they can play, create, read, and grow—without the pressure of grades or looming deadlines.

Last year, students lit up the library during our special events: creating colorful alebrijes for Día de los Muertos, and laughing together over a festive Lotería game in December. These events brought students in—and once they’re here, it’s so much easier to get books into their hands.

A color printer will help bring our library to life with vibrant book displays, event flyers, and student-created projects. These eye-catching visuals not only make the space more inviting but also draw students toward new books, activities, and opportunities.

With your help, I can expand our makerspace for friendship bracelets, origami, and more, add games that encourage teamwork and connection, and create a visually inspiring environment that makes every student want to step inside. Together, we can make our library a hub where curiosity, creativity, and community thrive.
