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

Hi! Thank you for considering funding my project. I am a first-year teacher and am so excited to start setting up my classroom! I'll be teaching 3rd grade at a school located in the South Shore neighborhood.

I need support in buying my students their basic school supplies, notebooks, crayons, pencils and other tools.

We will use these items in our classroom everyday. I have 31 students, and need support in ensuring they have all the supplies they need to be successful in their learning. Thank you so much, my students and I appreciate your support.
