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

At our technology school, many of our dedicated students are passionate about learning but face challenges due to a lack of basic classroom supplies. From notebooks and pens to crucial tech accessories, these essentials are vital for their success.

One of the biggest hurdles our students face is the lack of Chromebook chargers and staying hydrated through the day, With needs for tissues coming in a close third place!

With technology being a core part of their learning, many of them struggle to keep their devices charged, which hinders their ability to complete assignments and engage with lessons.

By helping provide these basic classroom supplies, we can ensure they have the tools needed to thrive and focus on their education.

Your generous donation will directly support the purchase of these critical items, including Chromebook chargers, writing materials, and other essential supplies, allowing students to concentrate on what matters most: their learning and future.

Together, we can help these teenagers develop the skills and knowledge they need to become the next generation of innovators, creators, and leaders in our world. Every contribution makes a significant difference, and I greatly appreciate your support in helping them succeed.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to empowering the next wave of technology leaders!
