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

Hello Donors! Thank you in advance for all of your support. My ELL students greatly appreciate your contributions. My students come from all walks of life, but share the commonality of being an immigrant who is new to the country and dream of having a better life for them and their families. The snacks and drinks will serve our after-school Title III students who remain in school after a long hard day of normal school hours, to continue to develop and enhance their understanding of the English language.

They learn and strive to unravel and understand the language in its written and spoken form.

Each and every one of them have continued to dedicate themselves by applying themselves with great effort, and a common goal in mind. We're learning, and we'll be proficient in NOT 1, BUT in 2 Languages! No matter what we have to do!

That goal is to be a dual language speaker who can communicate and thrive in a society of many languages. The sky is the limit.
