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

As an educator, I work with a diverse group of students with varying degrees of Autism, many of whom come from low-income communities. These amazing students encounter unique challenges in their learning journeys, and I am committed to providing them with the best support possible.

These materials, such as the A Little SPOT of Feelings Hardcover Book Set, play a crucial role in helping them communicate, manage emotions, and engage with the world around them.

The sensory toys will aid in calming and focusing students. The communion board will help non-verbal students express themselves, along with supporting them in identifying their emotions.

Ms. Valencia George Washington Carver Middle School Grades 6-8

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.
