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

The pandemic has had a significant impact on student's academic success. Kids need access to books to foster the love of reading and get them excited about the adventures readers can take.

Our classroom does not currently have a classroom library.

Kids who want to read books beyond the school curriculum are forced to get on their computers. During the pandemic, kids spend all day on their computers, so putting a book in kid's hands allows them to take a break from their screens, relax, and enjoy a good book.

Mr. Durga Aurora Highlands Pre-Kindergarten - 8 School Grades PreK-2

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
