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

My students are truly amazing! They are hardworking, kind, and determined. In our Pre-K classroom, we are dedicated to reaching our goals and staying focused on success.

Every student has unique needs, and it's our responsibility to provide the tools they need to thrive.

We are in need of basic supplies to support our classroom activities. Each week, we create beautiful crafts, and to continue this, we need cardstock and construction paper. Additionally, we're requesting a cordless glue gun to bond our students' crafts and allow them to create complex 3D structures. We will also use it to display their work in the hallway. The tote will be used by students to easily transport our recess toys to the playground. They will be able to store and return our recess equipment back to the classroom after each use. These essential supplies will help ensure all of our students have what they need to succeed. Thank you for your support!

Your generous donation will support a deserving group of students, and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you!
