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

Please help me give my incoming students the basic classroom supplies needed to begin kindergarten.

Help my students receive crayons, notebooks, scissors, and other basic supplies needed to begin kindergarten.

These students are coming to kindergarten in a low-income area so for me to be able to provide some of these materials will help take a financial burden off of incoming families. These materials will be classroom essentials that we will be using on a daily basis and students will need from the first day of school. My kindergarten students are curious and excited to learn especially our incoming students and I would love to help foster that excitement.
