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

Our Wildcats love to read! We have been without a school library since the start of Covid. With the help of a group of students and a dedicated mom who volunteered their time, our library has been revamped and renewed. We need to add a few special touches to make it the reading refuge our Wildcats deserve. A couple of new rugs and a new updated globe will complete our project and make our library a beautiful space to read. Our Wildcats look forward to diving into reading with your support.
