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

The purpose of this project is to fill in the gaps of materials that are not being provided or would normally come out of my own pocket. Materials such as scissors, crayons, and pencils are essential for students to have as they begin this next chapter in their education. It is my goal to provide these materials for students in order to help the families who may be facing financial hardship.

Every student deserves to start the year on the path to success.

Ensuring all students have the materials to do their work and be successful is the first step. Thank you to all who can contribute, it means the world!
