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

Help bring exciting new books to our classroom library!

Many of my students are eager and ready to dive into chapter books, but our classroom library is missing the variety they need to grow.

They’re especially excited about popular series like Dragon Masters, Owl Diaries, Amelia Bedelia, Dragon Girls, and Magic Tree House—books that spark imagination and build confident readers.

Your support can help us add these much-needed titles and fuel their love for reading.

In addition, we’re also in need of everyday essentials like whiteboards, pencils, and erasers to keep our learning environment running smoothly. Every contribution makes a big difference—thank you for supporting our classroom!
