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

My students are working hard to overcome the challenges they have faced over the past few years with difficulties around the pandemic. They are extrinsically motivated and have been loving the classroom treasure box. With that being said, it needs a real makeover to excite them. These items are ones that they have been requesting and will get them eager to work hard to earn a treat. A lot of these items are fidget type items which will also help them keep their attention while at their desk to continue to focus and work hard.

Mrs. Verdin Westover Hills Elementary School Grades 3-5

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.
