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

Help our students dive into a world of books! Our book club is on a mission, getting ready to compete in a fun book trivia challenge against other schools in the county. The students will be representing San Cayetano, as well as Fillmore.

We have been given a book list for this event, and need help getting all the books in the student's hands!

This is our first time doing this event, and want to go well prepared.

After the event, these books will be used in small reading groups by teachers and to fill our library shelves. We appreciate any donation!
