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

Imagine a child’s face lighting up as they read their first book independently or their pride when they confidently tackle a challenging text. When students become strong readers, they don’t just learn words—they unlock the doors to a brighter future. With your support, we’ll purchase a wide range of age-appropriate books, ensuring every student can find something that interests them and matches their reading level. This helps foster a love for reading, whether they’re just starting or ready to explore new genres.

The students we serve are not just willing to improve—they’re eager.

They’re excited to read more books that genuinely excite them, like graphic novels and comics. You’ll be giving them the tools to improve their literacy and nurture a lifelong love of reading. A strong reader becomes a stronger student, a more creative thinker, and a more confident person ready to take on the world.

By supporting this project, you’re providing students with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to become better readers, making a real difference today and for years to come.
