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

Dear Potential Donors,

We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt request to support our students' independent reading journeys by donating funds for the purchase of high-quality independent reading books.

As educators, we recognize the immense value of independent reading in fostering a love for literature, expanding vocabulary, and enhancing reading fluency and comprehension skills.

Your contribution will enable us to procure a diverse selection of books that cater to the interests, reading levels, and cultural backgrounds of our students. From captivating novels and thrilling mysteries to informative non-fiction and inspiring biographies, these independent reading books will provide our students with opportunities for exploration, discovery, and personal growth.
