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 Students

My first graders always walk in with a smile on their faces ready to learn. They always strive for academic readiness no matter what the situation is.

This pandemic with COVID-19 and the Winter Storm that hit Texas this weekend has caused an enormous amount of social emotional stress on my students and parents.

My students come from a very low socio-economic area, with very little resources to engage them in learning. The students that make up my classroom are 99% low income and at risk for dropping out before finishing high-school.

I want to build a stress free foundation in my classroom, so when they leave my classroom they are motivated and excited about learning. I want them to carry the passion of learning with them forever. Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated.

My Project

Purchasing these crayons, markers, pencils, primary notebooks, Clorox wipes, Kleenex wipes and Kleenex tissue paper needed for school, will be a tremendous strain on the families. This will help parents that lost their jobs or parents that are laid off due to the COVID pandemic. This project could help them be stress free and one less thing they have to worry about. The donations for this project will improve classroom academic achievement as it is important that the students have the necessary school supplies in order to have a successful school year.
