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

We are asking for a teachers pay teachers gift card in order to be able to access a variety of materials and resources that would be beneficial in our classroom. We also would like to have a mini fridge so that we can keep our snacks fresh throughout the day. Additionally, we would like to request donations for bulletin board boarder trim to improve our class bulletin boards.

These boards are a vital part of our classroom, showcasing student work and important information, and having attractive borders would make them even more engaging and visually appealing.

We are also seeking a new bookshelf to help organize student books and supplies. A well-organized classroom is key to creating an efficient and productive learning environment, and a new bookshelf would greatly assist in achieving this.

Lastly, we would appreciate donations of magnetic letters and numbers for our whiteboard.

These tools are incredibly useful for various lessons, helping to make learning interactive and fun for our students.

Your generous donation would make a significant difference in the daily lives of our students and their overall learning experience. We deeply appreciate any support you can provide.
