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 first graders are eager learners who thrive with the right tools and materials. We’re asking for donations of crayons, ziplock bags, and paper organizers to help make our classroom an even better place for learning and creativity.

• Crayons fuel creativity and help build fine motor skills as students explore art and self-expression.

• Ziplock bags keep small items organized and are perfect for hands-on activities and take-home learning kits.

• Paper organizers ensure materials stay tidy and accessible, allowing students to focus on learning.

Your donation makes a direct impact by ensuring every student has the resources they need to succeed. Thank you for investing in their education and helping us create a positive and equitable learning environment!

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference!
