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

My students were unable to bring in many of the classroom supplies needed this year. We have minimal amounts of the items on this list and it's affecting the classroom negatively! Germs are spreading and students are becoming sicker. Students are unable to complete work because of the lack of supplies!

These supplies would be super helpful in the everyday management of the classroom.

It gives students the materials they need to stay healthy and it also gives them different forms of getting things done!

Any donation is greatly appreciated!
