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

Teens need to read! With your help, I can inspire students to enjoy reading for pleasure with a selection of paperback, young adult, best-sellers in my classroom.

With a book of their choice to read, students can experience the feel and smell of a printed book and escape the real world for a little while each day.

They will read silently for the first 10 minutes of class with their electronic devices stowed away safely. We need printed books, lots and lots of books!

Aside from the required curriculum materials, my bookshelves are empty. I am returning for my 29th year in education to teach in the high school classroom after spending 21 years as a central office administrator. I am excited to spend the final decade of my career with teens and teachers where the real magic happens.

For this project, I curated a selection of titles in various genres and reading levels, considering quality, engagement, age appropriateness, diversity, language, and interests. With your support, we will build a community of readers who know the joy of reading.

District Vision: Marble Falls ISD has an unyielding commitment to love every child and inspire them to achieve their fullest potential
