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

Dear Donors,

Please help me get my students books that they enjoy reading.

Many times, my kiddos want to read books just to enjoy the act of reading. They love books like Dogman and can't seem to be able to put these books down.

I will use these books to have students read with their peers. This book series will help the kids develop a love for reading and allow them to understand that reading can help them not only learn but also enjoy themselves. We thank you in advance!

Ms. Torres
