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

Dear Generous Donor,

I am dedicated to creating a fun, safe, and inclusive classroom environment for all of my students.

To achieve this, we would greatly appreciate your support in providing the following essential items:

▪️Sensory materials: These will cater to diverse learning needs and help students stay engaged and focused.

▪️Clipboards for flexible working: Students will have the freedom to move around the classroom while completing tasks, promoting active learning and comfort.

▪️Snacks for sustained learning: Ensuring that every student has access to nutritious snacks will support their concentration and overall well-being throughout the day.

▪️Eyeglass wipes for clear vision: Clear vision is crucial for academic success, and these wipes will help students with glasses maintain optimal visual clarity.

▪️Lamps for a cozy environment: Soft lighting from lamps will create a calming atmosphere, reducing the sensory overload that bright overhead lights can cause.

These items are not just tools; they are investments in our students' ability to thrive academically and emotionally in our classroom. Your support will make a significant difference in creating a positive learning environment where every child feels valued and supported.

Thank you for considering our project!

Ms. Stenger
Grades PreK-2
