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.

Please support us in our desire to grow as readers. I teach fourth grade at a Title I school. The students can't wait get their hands on new books. Students get hooked on the books and can't wait to read them at home, as well.

I am a new fourth grade teacher, and our library is rather limited. The students light up like it's Christmas morning when I show with books that I have found at garage sales. I would love to provide my students with books they enjoy, especially particular series that they want to read.

I found great books that are available. However, they are very expensive. With support of amazing donors, I could increase the books in my classroom library. The more we read, the more we succeed!

Please, please feed our souls. The kids love to read and with your help, our library will be place full of possibilities and adventures.
