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 am writing on behalf of the students at the Alternative middle schools that serve a diverse and underprivileged community. Our school is committed to providing a high-quality education to all students, especially in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, where the future of our students lies.

To help support and enhance our STEM curriculum, we are seeking a donation of Cricut machine, accessory bundles and other supplies.

The Cricut would be an invaluable tool for our students, enabling them to bring their creativity to life through the design of prototypes, posters, models, and various project materials that support their learning in science, technology, and engineering. The machine would allow our students to experience hands-on learning and gain skills that are critical to their success in STEM fields.
