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

As the Student and Family Services Navigator of the Health Start program, I strongly recommend that my school establish a well-equipped library with bean bags, bookmarks, toys, and pillows. This initiative is designed to create a cozy and inviting environment that will inspire students to immerse themselves in reading. My role involves ensuring that these resources are made available to the school.

Many students find bean bags ideal for reading, yet the library lacks them.

As an incentive, students who read more than four books per week will be rewarded with small toys and bookmarks.

I firmly believe that these generous incentives will significantly impact the students, motivating them to read even more. Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
