Our Dream Library

Help me give my students the library of their dreams! This year, I am founding my school's first library. After searching through the donations we got, I realized there weren't a lot of books for the upper-grade students.

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

This year, I volunteered to find a library for all of the students in my school. Our school goal is to create a diverse library to help students build their literacy skills. Although we got a lot of donations, I realized that there aren't a lot of books that cater to students in upper elementary.

I'm hoping that with your help, these books can be placed in our little library.

I know the students will love these new books and they will continue to foster their love of learning. Thank you for your kindness!
