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

I love that our students bring the best of who they are to school. They possess resilience, tenacity, and determination. I am requesting an order of simple supplies to help meet the student's needs in a room where assistance is readily available. We live in a world where things don't always seem to be fair and resources can be limited. However, it is our duty as a community to meet the needs of the students to gain access to a world ready to be discovered. Sometimes, a student needs a helping hand to make it in life.

Ms. Willis Arsenal Technical High School Grades 9-12

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.
