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

Every school year starts with many handouts to students and parents, so we go through a lot of ink. I make master copies of downloaded materials for lesson plans, print curriculum maps, print out schedules, etc. Please help my classroom by supplying printer ink for my own personal printer in my classroom. As you may know, printer ink is very expensive and this is a cost directly out of my pocket, as my school does not supply any ink for our personal printers, nor does my school reimburse. So, I would greatly appreciate this donation. I love having my own printer in my classroom, the only caveat is buying the ink, which is costly. Please help with this endeavor!
