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

My second grade scholars are asking for your help in funding our classroom project. We are moving from traditional desks to tables. This switch will allow my students more flexibility throughout the school day. Students will no longer have personal desks to store their materials. These chair pockets and reusable bags will provide students with a space to store and organize their learning materials that was previously stored inside their desks.

Please help keep my students organized and independent during this mid-year transition.

Change is always a challenge, by providing my students with personal space to store their belongings, I'm hoping to provide a smooth transition.

Thank you for considering donating. My scholars will appreciate your kindness and support!
