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

Please help us to add these wonderful titles that have been requested by our current students to our school library collection. In the recent weeks, we have had many of our students specifically request these books.

We know that our students will be absolutely thrilled to have these brand new books in their hands.

When our students have access to our library and the freedom to self-select books, they are able to develop their identities as readers. It is an essential part of an education that allows them to learn how to think.
