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

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet"

I teach at a school in a bind to purchase school supplies and books for our students due to severe budget cuts.

My students, all freshman in high school, all receive free or reduced lunch and are in a bind to purchase books for themselves. Their thirst for knowledge has me bringing in books from home.

My Project

Since we are reading Romeo and Juliet, the students are interested in reading contemporary stories with the same theme. I believe they will be able to identify with Romiette and Julio because it is geared towards their age group. School should be a place where students can express themselves. With your help, my students will be able to go into the future with a love of reading. These books will help them excel both in and out the classroom.

You, donor, can make the difference and take steps to better the lives of my students.

Help make a difference in our school and help my students take lead of a project and implement it. Your funding of this project can and will change my students' lives.
