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

We are almost at the halfway mark in the school year and our classroom is running a little dry. We are in desperate need of pencils but more importantly a pencil sharpener. The rest of the supplies will help replace the ones we have already used up completely or are about to finish up.

We are also in the middle of flu season so we need to be sure our space is clean and disinfected.

Every cough and sneeze needs a tissue and a disinfecting wipe to try our best to keep everyone healthy and in school.
