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

This project supports a dedicated group of 9th and 10th-grade students in a reading class. These young minds are eager to develop their literacy skills, dive into new texts, and engage in thoughtful discussions. Each day, they come ready to challenge themselves and grow as readers and thinkers. Providing them with the necessary tools will ensure they stay focused on what matters most: their learning.

To create a productive reading environment, we need to restock some of the basic classroom supplies.

Items like pencils, highlighters, markers, paper, and Kleenex are essential for our daily activities. These materials help students take notes, highlight important information, annotate texts, and stay organized as they work through their reading assignments.

Having these supplies readily available allows students to engage deeply with the literature and express their thoughts clearly, without interruptions or limitations caused by a lack of materials.

Your support will help create a well-prepared classroom that meets the needs of our 9th and 10th-grade readers. By restocking these essential supplies, you'll enable these students to focus on their literacy development and excel in their studies. Your generosity will make a direct impact on their learning experience, helping them to reach their academic goals.
