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

As a teacher in a classroom with many students from low-income families, I strive to create an environment where all students have the resources they need to be successful.

Unfortunately, many of my students come to school without the necessary supplies to fully engage in their learning.

This project will provide my students with essentials such as notebooks, book marks, pencils, erasers, markers, tape and other basic materials. These items will ensure that every student has what they need to participate and excel in their education. Your generosity can make a lasting impact on my students' academic success and help create a more equitable learning environment. Thank you for considering supporting my classroom and the future of these young learners.
