High School Library Project

Help me give my students works of literature that will expose them to different writing that they desperately need to read and learn from. Shakespeare, for example! I can help them learn to love literature.

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 Students

My students are amazing, imaginative, inquisitive kids that are thirsty for information and answers. Their age group has so many questions that books can offer good, reliable answers to. I want offer them a safe place they can find stories that help them form good positive understanding to the worlds' situations they are currently living through and the emotions they experience.

My Project

The titles included in this donation request will be used in the classroom, from Pre-AP classes to my AP Literature students. All students in our high school will have the accessibility to beloved authors and new contemporary writers, alike. From Shakespeare to Toni Morrison, students need the exposure so they can immerse themselves in different worlds. The love of literature can only happen when the opportunity to read is there. Please help me continue to grow my high school library, so students (past, current, and future) can appreciate the beauty in the written word.
