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

Learning through play is important because play can help enrich learning and develop key skills such as inquiry, expression, experimentation, and teamwork. Play allows children to communicate ideas, to understand others through social interaction, paving the way to build deeper understanding and more powerful relationships.

So much time is dedicated to academics that students are losing the joy of learning.

Please help my students reignite their joy of learning by donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Ms. Smith PS 297 Abraham Stockton Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
