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

Attention, Attention, Attention! Write all about it!

My middle school students are in need of lead pencils to jot down notes and ideas to inspire them forward.

I am hoping to replace traditional pencils with lead pencils. Why? Well, from my scientific research we would reduce a tremendous amount of time wasted sharpening pencils and with your help, fund more time to sharpening minds.

Please help fund our campaign!

Thank you for your consideration. - Mr. Kam and the scholars in my class.
