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

Working with kids is one of the most rewarding jobs anyone can have. I would love to begin the new school year with supplies for my students. I'd like to ask you to please update the classroom with the new paper for the bulletin board and bulletin board borders. This will help make the room comfortable and inviting, which is essential for students. In addition, I am asking for basic school supplies, and some housekeeping items.

All classrooms must have paper, crayons, glue sticks, paper, and pencils.

I am requesting these supplies to ensure all my students have what they need beginning on day 1 of school.
