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

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Yacelys Mendez and I am a teacher at Esperanza Preparatory Academy. I am writing to you today to seek your support for an important cause that directly impacts the quality of education we provide to our students.

In our classroom, we strive to provide the best learning environment for our students.

We are currently learning math and Financial Literacy skills. However, we now face a challenge that hinders our ability to do so.

A printer would greatly enhance our ability to provide timely and effective educational materials for our students. It would allow us to print worksheets, visual aids, and other resources on demand, ensuring that our students have the materials they need to succeed.

We understand that times are challenging, but any contribution, no matter how small, would make a significant difference in our classroom. Your donation would not only help us acquire a new printer but also contribute to improving the quality of education we provide to our students.

We would be incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank you for considering our request. We appreciate your time and generosity.
