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

My students are hardworking, driven, and full of potential. To help them thrive. I am seeking the essentials that make a classroom run smoothly — like tissues, disinfecting wipes, pencils, paper, sticky notes, and more. These supplies may not be flashy, but they are vital.

They support a clean, organized, and focused environment where every student can feel comfortable and prepared to learn.

Whether it’s jotting ideas on a Post-it, staying germ-free, or having a sharpened pencil ready, these tools will make a big difference in our daily classroom experience.
