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

The world opens up when one can read. My third graders can't get their hands on books fast enough it seems. While many of my third graders are very strong readers, there are several who are still growing their reading skills and love of reading.

By donating to our project, you will be providing books that focus on the newly-learned reading skills for those third graders.

These books are eye-catching and interesting and will help them feel like accomplished readers. The double sets will allow them to read with partners.

Mrs. Walch Bishop Elementary School Grades 3-5

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.
