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

Helping students learn sometimes requires more than just a great lesson plan. Students need to feel safe, nourished, and a sense of belonging in order to reach their full potential.

Every year I do my very best to stock my classroom with supplies that meet the fundamental needs of students that set them up for learning -- Unfortunately, this can get very expensive and difficult to sustain throughout the year.

By supporting this project, you will be helping me to provide students with supplies such as snacks, toiletries/sanitary pads, high-interest novels, games, incentives, and tech accessories, all of which will help to foster a sense of safety, joy, and community in our classroom.

Our kids deserve the best, and I want to give it to them. Thank you for helping me!

Ms. McCarthy
Grades 6-8
