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 students are eager to develop their literacy skills, but they need the right resources to truly succeed. We need literacy materials and an easel to create a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. The literacy materials will support my students in practicing reading, writing, and comprehension, allowing them to build confidence and improve their skills. The easel will provide a central space for group activities, discussions, and interactive lessons, making learning more engaging and effective. Your support will make a tremendous difference in their educational journey, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity. Thank you for helping us create a brighter future for our students!
