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

Dear Donors,

I am excited to introduce a literary project that will captivate and enrich the lives of my students.

I am seeking funding to acquire 80 copies (two class sets) of the novel "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel offers a profound exploration of history, empathy, and the human spirit.

Literature has the power to open minds and hearts. "All the Light We Cannot See" is not just a story; it is a vessel for understanding complex historical events and human emotions. By engaging with this novel, students will be encouraged to think critically, empathize with others, and appreciate the beauty of language.

Your support will enable my students to immerse themselves in a world of historical fiction that will leave a lasting impression on their academic journey and personal growth. Thank you for considering this project and for helping to illuminate the path of learning for our future leaders.
