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

We have many students who have been affected by the pandemic in some way, some have lost family members, some have been sick, many have parents that are now unemployed.

We would love to get school supplies, books, puzzles, food and necessities to our students.

Many of them need a little bit of sunshine to help get them through.

My Project

I would like to make "care packages" to drop off for my students. Many have been affected by COVID in some way or another. Some students don't have the supplies they need to be successful during online learning. Some students are in need of food, some are in need of books to read and some just need to know they are thought of and loved. I am hoping to give them crayons, sidewalk chalk, pens, paper, juice and snacks - to help them smile and be successful.

The children will be so excited to see care packs full of goodies and materials at their door - they will know they are missed and thought of.
