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

Our Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade ELA team is working to create consistent and organized classroom systems to support our students’ learning. To help with this, we are seeking donations for pencil pouches to provide each student with a personal space to store their writing tools. Having individual pouches will reduce lost supplies, promote responsibility, and ensure that students have what they need for reading and writing activities throughout the day. Your support will make a meaningful difference in keeping our classrooms structured and ready for learning. Any contribution is greatly appreciated—thank you for helping us set our students up for success!
