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

Please help my students to have the basic school supplies they need for the rest of the school year. Times are tough and they need all the help they can help. They need school supplies to keep their assignments in order. Some students are still struggling with getting the supplies needed for everyday class. The goal for this project is to have all students be uniformed and feel like everyone else.

My students are extremely special.

They come from a low economic background and need the extra help to finish out the year. I do not want them to worry and be anxious about the items they may not be able to bring from home.
