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

As an educator, I believe that every student deserves access to quality literature, which is why I am writing to you today. Our school library needs new books, particularly the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. These books have been incredibly popular among our students, but unfortunately, our copies were lost when our classroom moved.

I am reaching out to ask for your help in providing our students with the opportunity to experience the magic of Percy Jackson's adventures.

Your generous donation could make a significant impact on our students' education and inspire a love of reading that will last a lifetime. I believe that every student deserves access to quality literature. I would be grateful for any contribution you could make toward this goal. Thank you for considering our request, and we hope to have your support in fostering a love of reading in our students.
