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

As educators in a Title 1 school facing severe budget cuts, we are in dire need of new teaching laptops to enhance our lessons and engage our students in a more interactive and captivating way. With your generous support, we can create an enriched learning environment that empowers our students to thrive academically. This is especially crucial when teaching students with disabilities, as interactive and engaging lessons can significantly enhance their learning experience. Your support will enable us to provide a more inclusive and effective education for all our students and will make a significant impact on the educational experience of our students and help bridge the digital divide in our school. Thank you for considering supporting our project!
