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 from a diverse community in Chicago! We enjoy learning about each other's culture, traditions, and languages. Even though they come from struggling backgrounds they come to school excited and ready to learn something new every day which is why they deserve the best! To start the school year with new things and great classroom supplies! It does wonders with their confidence and I can't wait to see their smiles and their eyes light up when they open their gift box on the first day. So let's get them ready, set, to go!
