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

With the new year starting soon, many of the books in my library have been used and loved. These new books will truly help foster a love for reading in my students. Graphic novels help readers on all levels feel included and valued.

Students run to get a chance to be the first person to read a brand-new graphic novel.

Most kids are excited about earning hot chips after learning. This will help motivate my students to keep on working and growing. The fidgets will also motivate my students as prizes.

Ms. Alvarado Longfellow Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
