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

Students will be able to feel good about having the basic supplies which can run short during periods of times at our school! When students struggle to find a pencil or have to use older supplies, it does not make them want to try their best.

Having new and clean supplies will help them be encouraged to learn.

Students truly appreciate a new pencil or a new pack of markers when working hard.

It may seem like a small necessity that will not make a difference, but I believe it helps some of the most in need students succeed.
