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

I have twelve students in my library club. They stay after school to help label and shelve books, put up bulletin boards, and more. This year, I would like to share art supplies and books with them so that they can create individual "reading caves" that they can use to cozily read at home during the summer months.

I am requesting cardboard boxes, various art supplies, stuffed book buddies, and books about building with cardboard boxes so my students can build their own "reading caves."

Thank you for your continued support! We appreciate your generosity and look forward to using our "reading caves" over the summer months!
