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

Back-to-school basics include boxes of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, a digital clock, pencils, erasers, calculators, white posters, colored pencils, whiteboard cleaners, and more. We are a Title I school; unfortunately, most families cannot continue buying these supplies for the students throughout the school year. All 120 of my students often use these materials for math and science. We plan to use colored pencils and posters and copy paper to create collaborative posters and projects. Please help us replenish these supplies so students can produce their work all year.

Ms. Blandon International Studies Learning Center - Middle School Grades 6-8

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.
