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 am reaching out to seek your support for a special project to update and complete the book series in our school library. These beloved books are essential in fostering a love for reading among our students, who eagerly dive into these series and benefit greatly from their content.

By contributing to this funding project, you will help provide our students with the newest editions and missing volumes, ensuring they have access to the stories they cherish.

Our school library serves as a vibrant and secure space where students can explore, learn, and grow as readers.

Your donation will make a significant difference in keeping our library resourceful and engaging. Thank you for considering supporting this important initiative.
