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

Please help provide our middle school students with math tools.

I am the Middle School Math Department chair, as well as a math teacher, seeking updated math tools like: calculators, protractors, rulers, graph paper, tracing paper, and all other math-related items.

These items will be distributed to the 6th grade math teachers, as well as my own 7th grade, 8th grade, and Algebra classes.

These materials will benefit our general education students, as well as provide additional support for our students on educational plans, without putting the financial burden on families.
