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

My SPED classroom is filled with incredible students who inspire me every day with their determination, resilience, and unique perspectives. Attending a low-income school means resources are often limited, but with your support, we can change that. Donations, including snacks, disinfectant wipes,sensory tools, and hands-on learning materials, will make a profound difference in their learning experience. Snacks fuel their minds and bodies, keeping them focused and energized, while the additional resources will create a more inclusive and engaging environment tailored to their individual needs. Our goals are to help these remarkable students build communication skills, foster independence, and gain confidence, ensuring they have the tools to reach their fullest potential. Your generosity can truly transform the lives of these extraordinary learners and open up bright, new opportunities for their futures. With your help, we can ensure these resources are available before the end of the school year.

Thank you for believing in these extraordinary students and their bright futures.
