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 my students foster their love of reading by giving them access to more books. In middle school, reading is essential to success in all subjects. It also allows students to escape reality for a bit. With the rise of social media, this is as important as ever.

A majority of my students are English learners, and many qualify for free or reduced lunches.

They are hard workers and have the biggest hearts. We have focused on our reading skills all year. By providing our classroom with more books, there are more opportunities for students to find the books and genres that they love!

Ms. Gonzalez Roseland Accelerated Middle School Grades 6-8

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
