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 have the privilege of teaching science to a dynamic group of middle school students. My goal is to provide my students with opportunities to explore, experiment, and understand scientific concepts through practical applications.

I am seeking donations to support the purchase of the materials that will allow students to conduct experiments and explore scientific principles in a hands-on manner.

Your generous contribution will directly impact my students by providing them with the tools they need to succeed and, by enriching their educational journey. Each donation, regardless of size, will make a meaningful difference in my classroom.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
