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

Your donation to this project will help provide my students with the essential tools they need to thrive in their studies and develop a lifelong appreciation and understanding of history, geography, and civics.

Help my students gain a global perspective by learning about the world outside their classroom through atlases and a class subscription to a current events periodical.

As these students embark on a new academic year, please help me create a classroom environment that fosters learning and exploration.

Some of the items that we are in need of include:

Atlases: To help students visualize and understand the world around them.

Colored pencils: To encourage creativity and expression in our projects.

Junior Scholastic: A class subscription to a monthly student periodical for current events.

Your donation will make a difference in the lives of these students. Help empower them to reach their full potential and become engaged and informed citizens.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
