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

It's hard to believe how many supplies students go through in a year! It seems we have to start all over so frequently, but I guess that's what happens when students are engaged and learning! Although schools do provide some basics, it's not enough.

School supplies help pave the way toward academic success by providing students with the supplies they need in the classroom and at home.

By providing the necessary supplies, students are more motivated, have higher self-esteem, and enjoy a better learning experience overall. Supplies like binders, dividers, pens, and pencil pouches prepare them with the basics they need in all of their core classes. Colored pens, pencils, erasers, whiteboards, and markers are all also essential in keeping students engaged, organized and by creating active learners. Supplies such as calculators and highlighters can also help students access the curriculum.

Supplies can make a big difference in a student's school experience, including improving grades, sparking creativity, changing attitudes towards learning, behavior, peer relationships and self esteem.
