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

The materials I am requesting will jump start engaging discussions within my classroom. I am looking to add more equitable books to our classroom library.

Not only will there be books with powerful themes, but my students will see themselves, their culture, and relatable challenges in the pages.

I look forward to my students selecting books to read independently, as well as listening to some via read alouds. I want my students to have access to more diversity in their classroom library, and with your help, I will be able to achieve this goal.

Ms. Benloss PS 75 Research & Discovery Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

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.
