Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are brave and bold, bright and curious. In the face of a global pandemic, they showed their resilience and brilliance.
They will be the change-makers of the future.
This project will support all 400 students in every TK-5th grade classroom, and - at a time when funding has been drastically cut for the coming year - they so deserve every opportunity to continue to learn and grow.
My Project
Your donation will support the creation of an antiracist library in every, single TK-5 classroom. Literature plays such a foundational role in how we see ourselves and others, how we see the world, and how we see ourselves and others in the world.
These books will lift up the stories of black children and families, as well as those of Latinx, Muslim, LGBTQ+, and other too-often underrepresented groups.
Through this literature, our students will be able to see and learn about not only struggles and pain but celebrations and triumphs, beauty and brilliance.
In order to create an antiracist school, our staff must also ground ourselves in a text that will inform our antiracist actions. Your donation will also support the purchase of "Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and me" for every member of the Firestone Staff. Written by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds, this "remix" of Kendi's book, "Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America," is a beautifully written, thorough, and accessible account of the history and legacy of racist ideas and racism. We, as a staff, cannot be antiracist nor lead our students down a path of antiracism if we are not rooted in a deep understanding of racism.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
