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

Our school serves students from diverse economic backgrounds. Over 75% of our students qualify to receive free or reduced-price lunch so many of my students don't have access to everyday technology and advances. My students come from working- and lower-class families who often do not have the money for the latest and greatest releases. Our students work hard and they are eager to explore and learn new skills and idea.

With so much structure and focus on testing and standards, students need time to read and further their love of reading.

We need more books to fill our book machine. Students earn tokens to receive brand new books!

My Project

I am requesting books to fill our school book vending machine!! Middle school students are full of interest and love to read and explore both the world around them and the world of fantasy. This year a book vending machine was funded for our students, but we need more books to fill it!

The students in our school are hungry for good books!

Help provide new and diverse titles to reach different readers in our school. Books are a universal language and I want to encourage students to read. We have set up an incentive plan where students can earn books over time or through extraordinary behavior. Books are rewards and we want to keep this up!
