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

We've moved! While all our books made it with us to our new space, the classroom we are now in has a woefully outdated whiteboard (it needs cleaner in order to erase), and some of our students need the mobility a stool will provide to see the board better. Plus, we are sharing the room with two other teachers, and we need some baskets to help keep our work organized.

Our fresh new classroom really needs some fresh writing space and some tools to help facilitate learning and working collaboratively both in our ELA and social studies classes as well as with other teachers who use our room.

Ms. Ofikuru Emolior Academy Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
