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

Help support the continued growth of the Mane Characters Staff Book Club.

This project will fund the purchase of new books for staff to read together, as well as provide themed book experiences for students at the library.

The book club offers staff and students a meaningful opportunity to connect with one another, unwind, share engaging stories, and strengthen community through a shared love of reading. Your support helps foster a positive, collaborative, and literacy-rich environment for all participants

Our students and staff work together to create a community of readers and grow literacy in our area.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
