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

To create a welcoming and organized learning environment, my students need basics like markers, paper, sharpeners, hole punchers, and snacks. Label makers will help us keep everything organized while giant Post-its are perfect for interactive lessons that keep students engaged and actively participating.

These items might seem small, but they make a big difference in keeping students prepared, focused, and involved in their learning.

By providing these essentials, you’ll help my 7th and 8th graders feel supported and ready to succeed each day.

Your generosity would make a real impact, helping create a classroom where students have everything they need for success. Thank you for supporting their journey!
