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

Help me to provide a few basic supplies for my students. I don't want my students to have to worry about buying things for class. I want them to focus on being in class and staying engaged. The folders will allow them to keep their data and keep track of their work to hold themselves accountable. I want to provide a travel back pack to a few students so they don't have to worry about how they will carry their books and their laptops to school. I thank you so much!
