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

Help me give my students gel pens, folders, pens, pencils, and other basic supplies they need in order to be successful in their classes.

My students want to succeed in their classes, and they definitely need basic supplies because many of them come from low-income families.

In order to be successful, they need the necessary supplies, especially folders, pens, and pencils. In addition, we use dry eraser markers to work on math problems on individual whiteboards.

The colored paper is for their weekly planner sheet to keep their assignments organized.
