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 Supporters,

My students are voracious readers who love exploring new books, but our current classroom library is in desperate need of organization.

With your help, we can make our library more accessible and inviting for these eager learners!

Our classroom library is a treasure trove of knowledge and imagination, but without proper storage, our books are piling up and becoming hard to find. To better serve my students, I am requesting [specific number] sturdy bookcases that will allow us to neatly organize our books by reading levels, genres, and themes.

An organized library will empower my students to independently select books that match their interests and abilities. This will foster their love of reading, improve literacy skills, and create a sense of ownership over their learning environment.

By funding this project, you’ll help us transform our classroom library into a well-organized, engaging space where every child can find their next favorite book. Thank you for considering our request and investing in the future of these young readers!
