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 Students

They walk in with a huge, bright smile and it is up to us to provide them with the quality education they deserve. The few pieces of furniture that occupy our room have been there for more than 20 years. We need to replace most of them and I would like to begin with a writing desk.

Our school is located in one of the most struggling and poorest areas of our district.

Many of our students are either recent immigrants and/or come from families that concentrate on meeting their daily basic human needs. The children come into our Kinder program eager to learn, play and explore what our classrooms have to offer. It is for this reason that I need your help in providing them with a proper learning environment.

My Project

The writing desk that I am requesting with this project will be placed in the writing center area. The desk has shelves in which I will be placing construction paper, regular paper, markers, crayons, etc., so that the students can go and practice their writing. I am also requesting a crayon organizing caddy that will also be placed on the desk. The students will get to express their writing creativity through the use of this organizational tool and wonderful piece of furniture.

A well-equipped classroom and an enthusiastic teacher create the perfect combination for success.

For the past ten years, I have put on the best possible smile for each and everyone of my students, but there are some things that I just can't provide. Your donations CAN make it happen. With your help, a group of five year olds on the southernmost part of our country can report to a classroom that meets the very same high standards that we hold them accountable for. Thank you in advance for helping.
