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

My Special Ed students are the brightest and the most complex students that you’ll ever experience. Because of their academic and social-emotional challenges, they require hands-on materials that will inspire and encourage them to explore and discover things that they don’t see in their homes and in the surrounding community.

Venturing into space and exploring the unknown will afford these children the opportunities needs to launch beyond their intellectual/academic ceiling.

By donating to our project, you will not only be helping to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Mr. Armstrong Gloria Casarez Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus
