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 students are smart and hardworking but factors such as COVID and economic challenges have impacted a majority of our students. We are a Title 1 school in the South Bronx. We need math and reading resources to help accelerate their learning and bridge the gap in their learning. Please help support the third grade in the Bronx. It is important that our students be given the same opportunities and access to quality learning resources no matter where the school is located. Please help our students with these books and resources to provide more targeted small group interventions.
