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

Dear Donors,

As an educator committed to fostering an engaging learning environment, I am seeking your support to equip my classroom with essential school supplies.

Your generosity will empower students to reach their full potential by providing access to resources that enhance their educational journey. From pencils to wall decors materials, these supplies play a pivotal role in creating an atmosphere conducive to active learning and creativity. Your contribution will not only impact the current academic year but will sow the seeds for a brighter future. Together, let's invest in education and shape the leaders of tomorrow.

Ms. Joseph Gregory - Lincoln Education Center Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

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.
