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

Dear Donors,

I am seeing support to refresh and expand our classroom library to inspire lifelong love of reading among my students.

Many of the current books are worn and outdated, and I want to provide engaging books that reflect my students' interests. I love to create a vibrant reading environment that includes the books provided by my school library, along with my classroom library, to help spark imagination and improve literacy skills. I teach second grade, and this is an ideal age to cultivate a love for books. Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the academic growth of our classroom.
