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

The classroom supplies I’m requesting will create a structured, engaging environment where my students can focus and thrive. Organizational tools will help keep materials accessible, while essential supplies like pencils, notebooks, and whiteboards will support daily learning. With these resources, my students can spend less time worrying about missing materials and more time diving into reading, writing, and critical thinking.

Every student deserves a classroom that sets them up for success.

My goal is to provide a well-equipped space where learning feels exciting, discussions are rich, and creativity flourishes. By ensuring my students have the tools they need, I’m fostering independence, confidence, and a sense of ownership over their education.

My students are curious, determined, and full of potential. They ask thought-provoking questions, engage in meaningful conversations, and push themselves to grow as readers and writers. With the right supplies, they can continue to build their skills, embrace challenges, and become the confident learners I know they can be.
