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

Many of my students come to school ready to learn, but without the supplies they need in order to do so. These basic classroom supplies will help set my students up for a successful school year.

By providing access to basic supplies, my students and their families won't have to worry about how they are going to purchase the items on this year's supply list.

Students will be able to come to school focused on learning, instead of coming in and worrying about whether or not they have a pencil to use for the day.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
