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

My students are creative, ambitious, and determined to build a better future — but what truly makes them special is their resilience. Many come from low-income households, yet they show up every day eager to learn and determined to succeed.

In our business program, my students are doing more than studying entrepreneurship — they’re launching real businesses.

From customized apparel and handmade crafts to creative services and innovative products, they are turning their ideas into reality.

To help them succeed, I’m requesting **materials for product creation, marketing tools, packaging supplies, and display items**. These resources will allow my students to:

✅ **Manufacture quality products** — turning their ideas into sellable items.

✅ **Create professional marketing materials** — including logos, flyers, and content to promote their businesses.

✅ **Package their products beautifully** — ensuring their items look polished and professional.

✅ **Set up engaging displays** — helping them attract customers at school events and community markets.

For my students, these materials are more than just supplies — they represent an opportunity to build something meaningful. These tools will give them the confidence to take risks, develop valuable skills, and see themselves as capable entrepreneurs.

Your support will not only provide resources — it will provide *hope*, *confidence*, and the belief that their hard work can create a brighter future.

Thank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools they need to succeed.
