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

I'm a dedicated middle school social studies teacher, guiding a diverse group of special education and English language learners. They’re enthusiastic and eager, but our outdated computer limits our learning opportunities. Hence, we need your help to acquire a MacBook for our classroom.

The impact of a MacBook goes beyond its hardware; it opens doors to new ways of learning.

It would allow us to create engaging lessons, spark interest through interactive online quizzes, and facilitate captivating presentations about various cultures and societies. More than just a tool for me, it’s a hands-on technological resource for the students to explore and learn from, bridging the digital divide and fostering vital digital literacy skills.

Our goal is to rejuvenate our learning environment, making social studies vibrant, relatable, and fun. More than just a computer, the MacBook represents a new chapter in our students' educational journey. We believe that they deserve every chance to succeed, and your support can help make this possible.
