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

I work in a school where 84% of the population is Latino. I believe it is essential for children to have representations of themselves in books.

For students to feel represented I believe it is essential for them to see this as early as possible.

This is the reason I would like to raise funds to get my students the books that will show them representation and equity. I am a kindergarten special education teacher in an ICT setting.

Please help me give my students pride and equity through these books.
