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

I am fortunate to teach a group of curious, hardworking, and insightful students in my world history class. They come to class eager to explore the past, connect it to the present, and engage in meaningful discussions about how history shapes our world. However, having the right supplies is crucial to ensuring they can fully participate and succeed.

The school supplies I am requesting—such as notebooks, pens, highlighters, folders, and other essentials—will make a significant difference in their learning.

Many of my students face challenges accessing basic materials, and these resources will allow them to take organized notes, complete projects, and actively engage in historical analysis without barriers.
