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

Good books save lives! The past year and a half have been incredibly isolating for many students. Some of my students escaped to great books, but many had no access to libraries or books at home. Students here at my school have been virtually learning since March of 2019 which means that for these 7th graders, there's a chance they haven't read a book since 5th grade!

My Project

During COVID when our school went virtual, many students at my school did not have access to books. PERIOD. School and community libraries were closed and most of my students did not have their own books at home. It was a dark time. Now we're seeing the gap in inequity growing wider. My students are falling further behind- all because of a lack of access to resources.

Let's get GOOD books back into the hands of students that need them most.

These books will go home with students and many will be given away for them to keep.
