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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will help their struggling families. Inflation is making families rethink many purchases, I do not want my school supply list to be a source of stress. I would like my students to not face the embarrassment of raising their hands to say they do not have the necessary school supplies. The basic school supplies of pencils, pens, composition books, folders, index cards, post-it notes and highlighters would ease the financial burden of my students' families. Included in this project are school supply list extra supplies like boxes of tissues, and a clear wipe off pocket and dry erase markers.
