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

This year I have an extremely energetic group of students. They are curious and willing to learn but most of them do not have the basic tools they need to prepare them for success. To help them realise their dreams of becoming successful students and to be prepared for class each day, I am kindly requesting your support.

Your generous donations to our project helps to improve student attention and focus during instruction and ultimately increase their academic success.

I encourage my students to take ownership of their work, therefore we are requesting a document camera to make presentations during class. To keep my students engaged and focused on their learning, and to develop their ability to work in teams I am requesting some games for them. School supplies and cleaning supplies are also needed to ensure that my students are prepared for school and to keep them safe and healthy as we head into Fall season.

Ms. Hercules PS 140 Eagle 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

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
