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 very hard-working students who mostly come from low-income families. To support them at school, I'd like to provide them with the basic supplies they need and snacks.

After they work hard each day, they are given a snack time, but about half of them can't bring a snack from home or all their supplies.

By helping me fund this project, students will get pencils, erasers, snacks, and prizes for their hard work.

These students are not only learning in English but also Spanish. Their brains work hard through math, writing, science, social studies, and language arts. Every week I choose a couple of winners of the week and they get to choose a prize from the prize box, but at this time, I'm running very low on prizes.

They're highly motivated and hard-working, they don't deserve to struggle for materials or snacks, please help me provide all they need daily at school.
