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

Students need the absolute best tools in order to perform at their very best. As such, we need a new MacBook Pro that will last for the foreseeable future as well as be powerful to handle all of the advances in technology that can plague technology as soon as its purchased.

My students are preparing for AP exams, college admissions, and the day to day of upcoming projects and assignments.

Having a new MacBook Pro M4 will help them to complete these tasks. My students are amazingly gifted, trying their absolute best to succeed and make their way to college. I want to give them the top tools in order to achieve their true ambitions.
