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 year we have been so fortunate to have a color printer donated to my classroom for my students from Donor's Choose. It is so great to see their projects come to life with this printer.

The printer has now run out of ink.

We need new ink cartridges to bring our projects back in color. My students are very bright, kind and helpful. It has been a pleasure being their teacher. Our ink has lasted us from September to the middle of December. I am thinking 4 more cartridges would bring us to the end of the year. Please consider donating ink to our classroom to bring the color back into our projects. One last thing, the cord that attaches to my computer from my printer is showing signs of wear and tear, I would like to replace it before it no longer works. These two items will help us out so much.
