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

Our campus has an enrollment of 675 students. Many of our students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and don't have any toy or teddy bears. We want our students to come in and grab a reading buddy or two and cuddle up to read a book. We want our students to feel safe and to have them enjoy come to the library! Our Canales Bulldogs deserve to have a reading buddy! Please take the time to send them some! Our library is the heart of our school! Our bulldogs rock!
