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

Each year, the state of Florida recommends a list of books called the "Sunshine State Books." Sunshine State books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation.

By funding this project, you will be giving my students access to each of this year's Sunshine State Books.

Having this type of access means a lot to my students as it reminds them that we care about their success and their love for reading. Please help me provide my students with the opportunity to have access to all 15 Sunshine State books, and allow them to celebrate their achievements as readers!
