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 would like to acquire diverse color pencils, people color paper, inclusion prompt cards, and a diversity bulletin board. The diversity task/prompt cards will help me teach acceptance and kindness, and that we are all different but the same. I also would like posters that show diversity and kindness.

These materials will celebrate diversity and teach acceptance.

These materials will help them understand diversity, self-love, and that they can follow their dreams, and make a difference in the world, because diversity is beautiful. Thank you so much for your time, donation, and dedication to public education. You are helping shape minds and the future of this world. We appreciate and value your donations!
