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 support 650 middle school students from low-income families in an urban school that has not had an open library since 1999.

Your donation will help spark interest and curiosity by bringing science to life through current articles and books.

Reluctant readers will pick up texts that include pictures, and these stimulating resources may just spark a passion in our next NASA engineers, technology visionaries, health experts, and problem solvers.

I am opening an old library without new resources, and this set of texts will allow our science section the opportunity to flourish and gain traction with our students.

Ms. Armstrong Navarro Middle School Grades 6-8

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
