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

Dear Donor,

In our classroom we LOVE to read, and expand our vocabulary and knowledge.

Donating nonfiction books to our students will unlock their potential by providing them with vital knowledge and critical thinking skills. These books will inspire curiosity, foster a deeper understanding of the world, and equip them with the tools to succeed academically and personally. Our students, eager to learn and grow, deserve access to these resources to help them achieve their dreams. Your generosity will make a significant impact on their education and future, empowering them to become informed and engaged members of society.
