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

Hi, I am the new librarian at my school. I'm looking for some help by donations to re-vamp the library and make it comfortable and welcoming. We are a title 1 school, so having a welcoming library for kids that maybe don’t own a book of their own, can come to the library to read a good book and enjoy the cozy feels. The library is an amazing place to help kiddos learn new things every day. I'm hoping with the bean bag chairs I can create a little spot for the kids to enjoy their favorite books. I can't wait to see their faces when they walk in there and see some new items for them to enjoy. If you are able to help in any way I will forever be grateful. Thanks for taking the time to check out my project.
