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 Students

Our school is a Title I school in the center of South Central. Most of my students are from low income families. My students are bilingual and eager learners who are excited about learning new things. They try hard and show a lot of determination. They are creative and enjoy trying new things.

Sadly, our students do not have access to to the basic supplies needed to learn the needed skills to complete with today's standards.

My students deserve to have all that they need to be 21st century learned.

My Project

Every year is challenging, but the last school year was especially difficult. I want the 2021-2022 school year to start out on the right foot for all my students. I want to stock our supplies needed for my classroom. .

By providing students with the necessary supplies they need to be successful, students can start the school year out strong without worrying about how they will get their school supplies.

Not only will students have the supplies they need at school, they will also be able to bring these supplies home with them to complete any necessary school work or projects. A sharpened pencil and a pack of crayons go a long way with helping a student start out on the right path for a successful school year.
