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

Rebuilding is never easy!

It's even harder when you don't have the resources kids need.

Help us put those resources back into the media center. After years of not having a library we are trying to put it back together and male it a gathering place for both students and staff. Shelves need to be filled with nooks, resources, games for brain breaks, furniture to hold the various supplies. We greatly appreciate any donation towards bringing a vision to life. The media center is for grades 9th to 12th grade.

Mrs. Cardona
Grades 9-12
