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

Our students come from low-income families that do not have the necessary reading books at home to help them succeed. We would like to give our students a variety of books to keep at their desks, so they are motivated and interested in raising their reading levels. However, their desks are small and are already filled with notebooks and workbooks for their curriculum. By purchasing these seat sacks, they'll be able to keep their books readily available and more organized at their chairs. Now, they'll have unlimited access to their cultural, sports, and mystery books!
