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

These books added to our school's library collection will give students a wider variety of current books available to them to learn about these nonfiction topics. Many books in our school's library about these topics and others are old and out of date. These books in this project will replace those older books with more updated, current, and interesting books that have appealing, innovative covers that will attract students' interest in previewing and checking out these books for their reading pleasure.

Current nonfiction books are essential to have in a school library so that students have access to trustworthy content.

These books are necessary additions to our school's library collection so that all students have the opportunity to read them and learn about these topics from reliable sources.
