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
I love my students’ curiosity, resilience, and excitement for learning. Every day, they come to class eager to explore new ideas, and I want to nurture that enthusiasm with a diverse classroom library filled with English and Spanish books. A sturdy, accessible bookshelf will help organize these books, making it easy for students to explore stories that strengthen their literacy skills, boost confidence in both languages, and spark a lifelong love of reading. With your support, students will have access to stories that reflect their experiences, broaden their perspectives, and open doors to new possibilities. Together, we can inspire their learning journey and create a lasting impact!
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
