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 work in a low-income district where our budget has been completely cut. Ever since this pandemic started, many families are struggling financially, and it is hard to give their children basic school materials.

Simple needs such as a markers, scissors,bulletin board materials will help my special education students really succeed in my classroom.

Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to buy supplies for their children.

My special education students learn best when they have hands-on activities. Having these school supplies will allow them to be successful and learn in the best way for them. Having these supplies will make all the difference in the world.
