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

I teach in my hometown with a population of fewer than 4,000 people. All these kids come from middle to low-income families in which they might not be able to afford their basic needs. Some of these kids will not ask for help because they are ashamed of what other people will say. I would love to help them get the necessary items that they will need to help them be successful, but unfortunately, it is not in my budget. Covid had an impact on learning and we are starting to dig ourselves out of that hole. These resources will help these kids be successful. Every kid will receive a notebook and will have supplies to use in class for upcoming projects. They do not have to be embarrassed to ask for supplies because I will have enough for every one of my students. Please help my students be successful.
