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

Hello! My name is Brandi Bravo, and I am a Special Education teacher working with incredible students in the diverse community of El Cajon, CA. This year, I am rebuilding my classroom and instructional supplies after transitioning from the virtual world of education back to a brick-and-mortar setting.

I am honored to support students in grades 1-4 as they work towards their Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals.

Many of my students are newcomers, refugees, and/or English Language Learners, and they thrive when given hands-on and visual learning resources and opportunities. Unfortunately, the tools necessary to provide this type of meaningful and engaging instruction can be costly.

Your generous donation will directly impact learners with disabilities by providing materials and tools that help them succeed academically and socially. With your support, we can foster a classroom environment where all students feel valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Together, we can nurture these young learners as they grow into productive leaders who will positively impact their communities. Thank you for considering a donation to support these remarkable students!
