Help me give my students books that will enhance their love for literature in their native language.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. L. Hernandez's classroom raised $414
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Recently, our school on the South Side of Chicago has welcomed migrants and newcomers from Spanish-speaking countries, and need your help by providing a few books that are of interest to them for reading to self-time. Help us provide books that vary in genre so that these students can continue loving literature in their own language while learning English too. These books will be shared among a couple of teachers so that students can use them at their leisure or quiet reading time during the day. A child should always be able to access a great book in any language. Please help us provide that to them. Much appreciated!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
