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 Students

My school is in an ethnically diverse small town in an agricultural region. Many students are brand new to this country, while many others have grandparents who also grew up in the same small town. We are stable and transient, below the poverty level and upper-middle class, we are all colors of the rainbow. We want our kids to dream big.

Sometimes small towns can feel limited and limiting.

I want to help students see the possibilities available to them, to see that there is a whole world out there needing what they have to offer. I want them to explore, experiment, and create. What better place for dreams than a library?

My Project

Most of the students using our school library are minorities. It is vital that the books in the library represent them. There is an analogy that books can be mirrors, where we see ourselves, or windows, where we see the world. Both of these are so important.

I want my students to have books that let them see themselves, and what they have lived and known, and books that let them see the amazing and unknown world around them.

I want them to know that their experiences are unique and universal. The titles in this project will provide those windows and mirrors for all my students, and will instill ideas of racial equity and social justice in each one.
