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

Donations to my classroom will provide my students with the basic supplies needed to support their learning. Basic Math supplies like folders, red and green pencils, graph paper, and others. My students will be able to create projects without feeling the pressure of providing their own supplies as we know that all are feeling the stress from inflation. Some of the students are unable to have the necessary items to be successful. My students work so hard and will thrive in a classroom that has everything they need! Your donation would make a big difference in my students daily classes.
