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.
Reading is essential to everyone, but I think most importantly to children. Being in NYC, I know my students will encounter people from various cultures and backgrounds, and we want them to see everyone as equal and important. Representation of black people and other minorities in a positive light, especially for children, deeply matters because for far too long, black children grew up without seeing powerful, strong role models who looked like them, whether in books, on TV, or in real life!
These books will help students learn more about themselves and each other, and will allow for students to take pride in who they are, and their friends, making for stronger relationships with each other where everyone's differences can be valued and appreciated.
Foods rooted in Juneteenth tradition include strawberry soda, red velvet cake, and gumbo. We want to expose the children to these traditional foods so they can truly get an authentic Juneteenth celebration. The biodegradable cups, bowls, and plates will be used to serve the students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
