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 K-8 dual language school is full of eager, brilliant learners, but we need more engaging Spanish-language books to help their bilingual brains grow! Our goal is to build a vibrant library where every student—whether they speak Spanish at home or are learning it for the first time—can find books that excite, challenge, and inspire them!

Located in one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse neighborhoods in Somerville, our school is a hub of rich experiences, perspectives, and passions.

With your help, we can fill our shelves with diverse stories that reflect our students and their cultures. Every donation helps us nurture bilingual brains and lifelong readers. Let’s grow something amazing together—one book at a time!
