Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 students love books about space, but unfortunately our library's books about space, planets, and astronomy have become outdated and desperately need to be replaced with new books in order to give our students the most updated information about the night sky!
Help our students achieve their full potential by helping us provide them with brand new high-interest books about space for our non-fiction collection.
With your help, our students will have access to space books written in the last 5-7 years to ensure that they have accurate information while they're learning about one of their favorite subjects!
