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

**Help Us Get Rumble Ready: Give Our Readers Books, Confidence & Opportunity!**

Reading Rumble is a local extracurricular reading experience that brings students from across our district together through **fun, engaging, high-quality books—with the goal of building confident, lifelong readers.** To participate, students read a specific set of titles, and we’re asking our generous **Charlotte-area and DonorsChoose communities** to help put these books into the hands of our readers.

This year is especially exciting because I serve as an AIG teacher across **two Title I schools**, giving me the opportunity to bring this enriching experience to twice as many readers. Many of our students have limited access to academic enrichment opportunities outside of school. Through Reading Rumble, they’ll discover wonderful books, challenge themselves, connect with fellow readers, and proudly represent their schools.

This spring, our readers will travel to another school on a Saturday to meet fellow book lovers and put their knowledge to the test. We’re ready to welcome a new group of readers—but first, **they need the books!**

**Your support will do more than provide books. It will help two Title I schools inspire a love of reading, create meaningful academic opportunities, and build readers for life.**

**Twice the schools. Twice the readers. Twice the impact.**

Help us get our Grades 4–5 readers ready to **Read, Rumble & Rise!**

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
