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 goal is to provide as many families with new school backpacks for students so families do not have to endure the extra costs. The neighborhood where my school is located is urban and contains high crime and drug activity. Many families struggle financially but are committed to their children's learning and education.

Providing new backpacks would lessen the financial burden on families who cannot afford to buy new backpacks every school year.

Our students are amazing and work very hard. They deserve to start the school year off with new backpacks to get them focused and ready to learn.

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.
