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

The start of the new school year is here. I teach in a city school in a low socioeconomic area. Most of my students come from low-income households. Often students and their families struggle to provide items listed in the school supplies list.

Please help me provide these basic school supplies for my students.

This is why every year I buy enough supplies for all students that need them. This helps keep our classroom organized and prepared the whole year! And students can stay focused on learning and not waste time asking around for a pencil, sharpener or paper.

Mrs. Priti Bist Luis Munoz Marin Elementary 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.
