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 I embark on the journey that is my first job post-grad, I am met with the reality of public school district funding. Coupled with the job of keeping over 50 students organized across three schools, the lack of supplies severely limits my ability to help my students achieve their fullest potential.

Students with autism have unique needs that should be carefully considered within the educational environment.

This project will help me keep my kiddos organized and give them opportunities to grow in school. Thank you for considering my project!
