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

Our K-2 students are eager to learn and they need essential supplies like dry-erase markers for daily use. Our students need dry-erase markers to practice during phonics instruction. The markers will also be used to practice math skills and during learning stations. These markers will be used daily and often, so we need lots of them. Having enough markers for all our young learners will ensure continuous practice for them.

Studies show that having school supplies effects learning and academic outcomes.

Our students will make good use of these supplies. Please contribute to making a small positive impact in our students’ learning.
