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

With your help, 100 students get off to the right start. Imagine getting to school on time, ready to go, but embarrassed because you are missing your essentials to engage day one. Many of my students will face this in a few weeks.

Hurricane Beryl did a number to us, school's about to start, and we need your help!

Lets help this group of 100 students begin their school year with the right supplies. With just these few items, students moral will be on a high and we will begin class with all engaged.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
