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, our middle school students have the opportunity to start and write for the school newspaper. Students will be able to connect to their community and talk about current events throughout the school, important dates and events coming up, ask questions, and so much more.

The printer would provide the school with printed copies of the newspaper to distribute to the classes and bring it home to their families so they are also involved.

Because of the amount of copies needed, ink is also important for our mission.

By the end of the year, we hope to achieve more unity and understanding of ourselves and others around us through news and stories. The students will be able to develop and improve their writing and reading skills, as well as learning how to improve on their communication skills with all grade levels.

We at our middle school greatly appreciate your generosity and support through this new adventure!
