it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My name is Mrs. Hidalgo. I work at a high-need Title I school. I work primarily with refugee children who do not speak English. Some of my students are currently living in shelters and receiving public assistance. I would like to get a laptop to do my lessons since the one I had broke and is now useless.
I would also like to get one a set of 30 headphones and 30 computer mouse for my students.
Thank you very much for all your help and support. The laptop will be used for daily lessons in my classroom. The headphones will help my students translate the lessons and listen to them without interrupting other students.
By donating to our project, you will not only help improve and increase students' attention and concentration, but will ultimately help increase their academic performance.
