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

Our students struggle to come to school with the supplies they need that are not provided. Please help fund my project with pens, pencils and computer chargers so they are able to complete their work on a daily basis.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they don't have to worry about how they are going to complete their work.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether they have the materials on hand to complete their work. Plus, in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated (and fully charged) technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
