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

All students have different needs and not all students have access to learning materials that they need for the school year. By donating to this project you can help students have access to materials such as a notebook, colored pencils, glue sticks, pencils, and pencil sharpeners. All materials that will be needed for their classes this school year!

The goal for this project is to provide those students who may not have the means to buy their school materials, with the materials that they will need for the school year and contribute to their success!

Any help is greatly appreciated and I know my students will be thankful for the help in making sure that they have one less thing to worry about as the school year starts. Thank you!
