Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Hello everyone! I'm reaching out for assistance to enhance our classroom library with new and diverse picture books. Books are invaluable tools that expand our knowledge and fuel our imagination! With your support, we aim to enrich our library by adding captivating books that pique our curiosity and celebrate diversity.
Diverse picture books are powerful tools for fostering inclusivity, empathy, and understanding in young readers.
That's why we're eager to bring in books that are both engaging and culturally diverse. It's important to read about different cultures because it helps us understand the world better and appreciate our differences. By adding these books to our library, we're opening doors to new adventures and fostering a deeper understanding of the world around us.
It is so important for students to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, which can boost self-esteem and provide a sense of belonging. Exposure to diverse cultures and experiences through picture books can broaden students' worldviews and increase their awareness and appreciation of cultural differences.
Your support in acquiring new books will transform our library into a vibrant hub of learning and discovery, where every student feels valued and inspired. Thank you for considering our request and for your commitment to enriching education for all.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
