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

When the new school year begins, I want to provide my students with a clean, organized, and germ-free classroom. Most of my students are unable to purchase the supplies they need in order to learn. So it's crucial that I provide items like wipes, cleaning solutions, paper towels, Kleenex, etc to allow them to have their learning needs met but also their basic health needs met.

These supplies will allow my students to have basic health met at the start of our school year and throughout.

Students take ownership of their learning and classroom community when they are part of creating the community. Having all of these cleaning supplies will help us create a community of learners that take care of the needs of the classroom and will increase engagement and teamwork. Two essentials to learning and life.

Thank you for any donations made and I wish you a great school year as well!
