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

I have been teaching at my elementary school for the past five years and am amazed at how grateful and resilient students are. Our scholars are so artistic and curious. They are always coming to school eager to learn and with smiles on their faces. I want to ensure all my students have supplies to organize their belongings for them to enjoy this school year. Help me give my students seat sacks, jumbo pencils, and pencil cases to keep them organized. I think that showing how much we value their education will be an impacting message for their future. Thank you in advance for your support.
