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

Our middle school students are working hard to learn English and adjust to their new life in the U.S. Coming mostly from low income families, they need help with school supplies and also with class materials that will meet their unique learning needs.

Welcome our English learners with the materials they need to succeed (a significant number of our students are recent arrivals from countries all over the world: Afghanistan, Egypt, Armenia, India, El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina, and the list goes on!).

They need basic supplies like pencils, markers, paper, erasers, etc.

In addition, our English Language Development classes also need supplies to meet their unique learning needs. Visual aids make all the difference when teaching non English speakers. We need white board markers, laminating pouches, poster paper, tape, construction paper, maps, sentence strips, bins, markers, cleaning supplies, etc.

Thank you for supporting our amazing students. They will be thrilled and thankful to know that people care about them and want them to succeed. It will also make a great lesson about paying it forward.
