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

When students are comfortable they are able to focus on learning. Some of our students don't have warm jackets so they are cold and unable to concentrate in school.

Students will feel special and cared for when they receive their new jackets.

The goal of this project is to let students know that their basic needs are important.

Our students are special because they have the trust to ask for what they need from our school community. They see school as a resource and that is important for us as we aim to meet all their needs.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
