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 full of energy, curiosity, and a love for learning. They come to class each day ready to explore, ask questions, and tackle new challenges. They inspire me with their creativity and ability to turn even small successes into big celebrations. What makes them truly special is their willingness to support one another as we build a classroom community where everyone feels valued.

My students are truly special and I am asking for items that will keep them going so they can finish the school year strong.

I am requesting items that will reward them for their resilience. Incentives will give them something to work for. I am also requesting some basic supplies like pencils, folders, and wipes to restock our current supplies that are being used up. We use these supplies daily and are grateful to have them restocked.
