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 hard-working and dedicated to their studies. Because most, if not all of my students, come from low-income households, it is hard for them to get the basic materials that are needed to succeed in every class. With these basic supplies, students will be able to get the most out of their education. It is surprising the difference that a pencil and paper can make. These basic supplies will truly make a great difference in our classroom and in my students. The contact paper will be used for their desks, and the monitor stand will be used for the classroom computer. With these basic supplies, any student will have the opportunity and the ability to thrive.
