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

My name is Mrs. Olvera and I am the proud librarian at our school, SES. We service over 470 students in a very low income area. Students look forward to visiting their school library and enjoying reading a great book. It is their home away from home.

It truly makes my heart happy when students are coming into the library on a daily basis because it is their comfort place.

During the first week of March, we celebrate what is called, "Read Across America!" My students and I read a variety of books but a very popular series they love to read is by Dr. Seuss. During this week, we would love to celebrate literacy with reading, games, prizes and treats! All 470 students look forward to this amazing experience with their classmates and teachers.

Thank you!

Mrs. Olvera
Grades 3-5
