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 7th and 8th grade students from all over the world and many of them are new to the United States. These materials will go directly to students in need and ease the burden of back to school shopping for families.

In order to be successful, students need the basics like pencils and paper.

The cleaning supplies will be used to keep a healthy and clean environment while the art supplies will allow students to express their creativity. Finally, the printer ink will allow students to publish their work and hopefully last the whole year.
