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 new to my school. I took over a class that had limited books for my students. Through your generosity and donations, I will be able to add some great books to my library to teach my students about different topics. These books will help them read stories about feelings, bugs, insects and so much more! My students need these opportunities to grow their knowledge and expand their love of reading. Due to the covid pandemic, these students were not able to have a book in their hands to read. Your donations will give my students the opportunity to sit with an actual book in their hand and transform into other worlds!
More than half 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
