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

Ticonderoga pencils are just the best. They save class time and resources because they sharpen easily and don't break often. Students will have the supplies they need and won't have to break their focus because their pencils broke.....again!

A student's basic needs must be met before they can really learn.

This is one of the first things you learn in college. Kleenex for runny noses (and the occasional tears), Band Aids to make the unfortunate mishaps a little more comfortable, Wet Ones to keep those hands clean without leaving class, and pads to make sure every girl has what she needs to feel comfortable and taken care of, when needed. With these basics, students will have their needs met, and ready to learn.
