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

Hello everyone. I am proud, honored to be an elementary teacher and soccer coach. Our kids, our school, our community is located in a low socioeconomic area in Houston. Kids reading in class or home will be helpful to our kids. We need fun books so they can not but keeps on reading the book. I believe that when we provide the kids with these books they can be successful, not just in school but also in their life. I am looking for anyone to work with us to provide the support they need. Lets help these kids. With your help we can do it. Thank you all in advance for your generosity.
