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 item will help in more than one form, it will provide my students with materials required for in class learning as well as incentivize and reward their efforts.

The color markers will help create bright and colorful presentations, and of course pencils will ease the classroom flow, the laptop stand allow me to move around the classroom to make sure everyone is working and participating in class.

I am truly thankful for this program that allows donors to provide assistance to students from areas where the the help is needed the most.

Mr. Virrueta Mater Academy East Grades 9-12
