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

Each year, our students are tasked with carrying tools for their education in their backpacks. Issue is sometimes their backpacks are not strong enough to hold these tools.

The backpacks we provide helps students carry the keys to their education.

Students who come from families that have a hard time gathering things they need for school know they can come to school and receive backpacks full of supplies for them to use.

We believe students should only worry about coming to school because we will provide the rest for them.
