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

The materials that I am requesting already have a home and a group of incredible students ready to use them. Student’s ability to do classwork should not be defined by their inability to afford school supplies.

By providing students basic supplies like mechanical pencils, leads, and colored pencils, they can be stress free and concentrate on their schoolwork.

Students will be able to get a mechanical pencil, and a pack of leads to take home so that they can have supplies to use for homework. Thanks in advance for your generous support.
