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
Please help my students to keep reading. They love to lay around the room reading books. Unfortunately, many students gravitate to the same books. Those books become so loved that they begin to fall apart. Please help me restock some 5th-grade classics.
Additionally, the coolest or newest books seem to disappear off the shelves.
The shelves always start out full at the beginning of the year, but somewhere around spring, the shelves start to look bare. Help! The books are disappearing. With your support, I can restock shelves and my students can keep reading the books.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
