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

Many of my students plan to attend summer school as we strive to close in the academic gaps created by the pandemic. Despite their circumstances my students are super excited about learning and aim to improve daily. They truly inspire me to want to give them the best possible school experience. I will use the school supplies to create fun and engaging lessons, games and classroom decor! The chairs are a huge need as students come to the small group table to receive their individualized instruction! We hope to make huge strides this summer and can't wait to show you what we can do.

Ms. Turnquest Berry Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus
