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

This project is to help fully stock our classroom with essential supplies to keep up healthy and ready to learn. I have selected many items like Kleenex facial tissues to help keep the germs away. These items will help us keep our room clean and orderly throughout the upcoming school year.

These basic but important supplies help create the learning environment that is welcoming to all students who utilize our space.

Our classroom will be filled with many students throughout the day and we need these items to accommodate our 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.
