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

Your generous donation will impact all of our TK-5 students here at Hamilton Elementary. First of all, we will increase the variety of books we have available now and also refresh some of the aging books that have been in this library for quite some time. Our Library books are used both as a resource for some of the teachers and students as well.

And following the excitement of "hour of code" we are also adding new books about coding and online safety.

This is an ongoing project, one that will be expanded and continued over the coming years that will hopefully keep students engaged and reading.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful consideration!
