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

This project includes items for the start to a new school year. Pencils, paper, erasers and other school supplies will guarantee a successful start.

This project also includes indoor and outdoor activities for the kids to do during their break time.

Kids need to play and have a selection of things to play indoor and outdoor toys.

My class always offers snacks to all students. We get donations from parents but they run out quickly leaving myself and my Para to supplement. This project will help with this.

Please help my students get what they need for this school year.
