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

I want them to feel and believe they have a chance to manifest their dreams into realities!

The materials I am requesting (scissors, glue, dry erase sheets, and markers), will help me achieve my goals!

I want my students who already have a negative stigma against them, to prove to others and themselves that there is greater in them than what is perceived! My students are future doctors, nurses, veterinarians, cosmetologists, construction workers, engineers, entrepreneurs and so much more!

I know that through your contributions, my students and their families will be driven to go after their goals and reach for more they can ever expect to.
