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

We've initiated a book club at our school and are gearing up for a book trivia contest in the upcoming Spring. To ensure our students are well-prepared for the competition, we've compiled a list of essential books. However, we currently don't have access to all the required titles.

Your assistance in providing these books to our students would greatly contribute to their readiness and enhance our school's representation in the contest.

In addition to fostering a love for reading and promoting intellectual engagement, our book club serves as a platform for collaborative learning and critical thinking. By supporting us in acquiring the necessary books, you're not just aiding our participation in the contest; you're also contributing to the educational growth and enrichment of our students.
