Celebrating 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
What I love about my students is the positive relationships they are willing to form with the adults in our building. Middle school is a tough time and I believe more times than not our students know they are in a safe place with staff members who truly care about them and want the best for their future. The water bottles, snacks, and fidget tools you donate will make a difference in their learning by providing a comfortable test environment. I hope with a few small donations students will be willing to put their best foot forward!
