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

My goal is to provide students with access to high-quality books that align with their interests and reading levels. I believe this will result in an increase in students' reading proficiency and comprehension, and instill a lifelong love for reading and learning.

My hope is to acquire a comprehensive collection of books suitable for students of varying ages and reading levels.

These books will include both fiction and non-fiction titles, covering a wide range of subjects and genres. With your help, I can keep our library up to date with books for students to enjoy, and set them up to be readers for life!
