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 students are thoughtful and work very hard. They are very eager to learn and come to school every day excited to get things done and learn as much as possible. My students always come to school ready to learn but they often do not have the supplies they need to be successful. Most of them are coming from tough situations and having these supplies provided for them will take a huge weight off not only the parents but the kids.

By having things such as pencils, markers, and highlighters ready at the beginning of the year we can ensure that students are learning as much as possible.
