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

Your donation will allow me to provide my middle school students with the best learning environment possible. The majority of our students come from low-income families, so these supplies will help us all.

Basic necessities like pencils, poster paper, and tissues will eliminate any extra worry from students and their parents; as well as keep our classroom in good health; while the additional support like flexible seating choices and clipboard/whiteboards will allow students to be creative thinkers in the classroom.

These supplies will be able to be shared across classrooms, so that students can succeed everywhere.
