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

This selection of mystery and horror books will thrill my middle school readers. So many of my 7th and 8th grade students love the spooky genre, and they will be very excited to see a new section of our classroom library filled with tales and books they can get lost in.

There is nothing greater than knowing our children are reading a book they really love.

By giving them a gratifying selection to browse and choose from in all their various reading levels, we are encouraging them to be enthusiastic readers and lifelong learners.

When I ask my students if they have family members that enjoy reading, only a few of them say they do. My goal is for them to be that member in their family that loves to read and, in turn, can share this passion with their families. Your donation can help this happen.
