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

Help brighten my students' day with extra supplies! These materials will spark creativity with coloring and glue, allowing students to bring their ideas to life. Organizing bins will help keep our classroom neat and teach responsibility, while new reading books will reinforce the importance of taking care of supplies. With these resources, students can express themselves, stay organized, and develop lifelong learning habits. Your support will create a more engaging, structured, and inspiring environment where every child can thrive and make the most of their education. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful impact on their learning journey!
