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 Students

I am an educator in a low-income, Title I school with almost 500 children. This year will be my 14th year teaching. This year I will service 29 eager and ready scholars. They are excited about this school year and all of the fun activities that I have planned.

My goal this year is to make all of my students grow one grade level above where they are now.

I want all of my students to be successful this year. I want them to excel.

My Project

This school year has been a crazy ride! I have really enjoyed the time spent with my students. I am asking for a few items, like bubbles and slime, to be used as part of an end of the year gift. I would like to make little goodies pails for each child in my class.

Some of my students have been through a lot, and I would like for them to have a great summer.

If we get this project funded, they would be so happy. Please help me get these things to make end of the year gifts!
