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

We use interactive notebooks in our 8th grade self-contained Social Studies class, and we need a globe to help us more accurately locate ourselves in the world.

The other supplies listed are what we commonly run out of, and when students are asked to replace them, they are unable to do so.

Help us prepare for this inevitability by stocking some back-up supplies—notebooks, pencils, folders, and index cards.

Finally, we need a class pack of colored pencils and highlighters because we will use these to color code our interactive notebook pieces and other notes.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

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.
