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 Students

I have an amazing group of students! They are compassionate and welcoming to everyone. My students have been able to create an incredible sense of community. They all come from different backgrounds and have made great bonds with each other.

This group of students is kind, generous, and very helpful.

They are always eager to find out what new concepts they will be learning about. They are respectful and take into consideration the opinions of others. They are awesome kids!

My Project

Help me give my students school supplies they need to continue with distance learning. We are about halfway through the school year, and my students need more supplies to have at home!

My students are in desperate need of new supplies!

My students need more pencils, lead, and pens to continue learning from home.

Distance learning is already so hard for my students, and not having the simple supplies they need to write and take notes makes it even harder! My students were given one composition book from the school at the start of the year, and they are running out of space! Highlighters have dried up, and they are all ready for new supplies!
