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 Students

My students are special because each and everyone of them is unique, hard working, caring, funny, full of perseverance, and most of all they are our FUTURE! These students will be our future doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, politicians, and those that will be taking care of us.

My Project

After a year of online learning, we are excited and ready to get back into the classroom. A huge priority of this year will be books! Students need actual books in their hands, instead of just screens and devices. Our updated library will allow students to learn from hands-on materials and pages!

Books provide mirrors and windows for students to reach the world.

My students deserve an updated library that allows them to see themselves, learn about current events, and open the doors to other experiences.

Help me give my students a new library to get back into in-person learning!
