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.
I am hoping to make our classroom library much more inclusive and representative for all of my students. To do so, we need to fund the purchase of some wonderful LGBTQ+ friendly authors and characters out there.
The books chosen help to broaden students' exposure to different types of characters, characters that represent themselves more and more.
These books have been curated to include wonderful texts that tell lovely stories with LGBTQ+ characters and experiences. We need more recent and accessible books to help our classroom become much more inclusive and ready for the new year!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
