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.

Our school is beginning a new era of learning. We are implementing brand new educational programs that will make our students smarter, sharper, and excited about learning.

Our school is short on supplies and wants to expand its horizons for our beautiful students by using technology as an educational aide. We are short on headphones, and need more for the entire school.

Our school will be implementing two new school wide educational programs from Kindergarten to fifth grade. The programs will develop students in the areas of phonics, advanced English, science, math, language arts, and programs for our English Language Learners. These programs are also designed to raise students' test scores and further their educational future. My students need 80 stereo headphones for school wide implementation of our new computer educational programs.

With the community and school's intention to improve our student's education and their future, any little help from any corner of the world will make it possible for the students to have learning be exciting, developmental, and motivational on a daily basis. I really hope you can help our kids move ahead educationally and intellectually. In these days of X-box and Play Stations, it is easy to see that students enjoy interacting with technology and are willing to learn with it. Now it's our turn to keep up with changing times. Please help us stay in the game.
