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

I'm always on the look out for new books and items to make the library a fun and inviting place to come. Every student comes to the library to hear stories and find new books about things they are exploring.

These books will engage our readers on a variety of subjects and spark their imagination allowing them to dream big about their future.

This project will help support our school-wide STEAM program. The books will reach the youngest to oldest readers at our school. Reading leads to empathy and leadership.
