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 would like to transform our middle school library into a vibrant and inviting space for our students. We are seeking to purchase bean bags to create a cozy, fun reading corner where students can relax and dive into their books with comfort. By providing a soft, engaging environment, we aim to make reading a more enjoyable and immersive experience, which we believe will spark greater enthusiasm for books and learning!

Our goal is to foster a love for reading and encourage students to spend more time in the library.

We are a Title 1 school in Costa Mesa. CA and our students are kind, curious, and creative. By offering them a comfortable and appealing space, we hope to support their educational journey and make reading a daily joy rather than just a classroom task. Your generous support will help us create a special nook where our students can truly feel at home with their books!
