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 classroom is in need of essential supplies to help my 8th-grade students thrive throughout the school year. As a Title I school, many of my students do not have access to the basic materials they need to succeed. With your support, we will be able to provide items like paper, folders, copy paper, and classroom decor that will create a more organized and engaging learning environment. These supplies are crucial for students to stay on track and complete their assignments with confidence.

In addition to the basic supplies, we aim to create a motivating classroom culture by offering incentives that encourage positive behavior and academic achievement.

These incentives will help foster a sense of pride and accomplishment, keeping students motivated to learn. Your generosity will ensure my students have the resources they need for a successful and enriching school year. Thank you for considering our project!
