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

Basic classroom materials such as binders and a computer station are all basic supplies we use daily. Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to continually buy supplies for their children.

We need these basic supplies in our classroom.

We need these materials to help us learn! We often run out of basic materials in the middle of the year because of all the learning and projects we do.

My students are such hard workers and deserve the basic classroom supplies. Please help our students continue to learn by donating basic school supplies to our classroom!

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