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 are taught organizational skills in our AVID classes. It is unfortunate that the very most important requirement which is the binder is one factor that some of my students do not have. With DonorsChoose, receiving these binders will make a change in my students’ learning.

If my students become the recipients of the company’s generosity, this will create a change in their lives towards learning in school.

School materials will be kept inside these binders and students learn and acquire skills in organizing learning materials and portfolios. Lastly, these binders will last for years depending on the usage, and these can still be used for the next years to come.
