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, caring, and very creative. They are very eager to learn and come to school every day excited to ask questions and gain knowledge but they lack the supplies needed for school. 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, headphone and other needed supplies we can give each student what they need from

The beginning of the year.

They all work so hard and by giving them all the same supplies this will create a safe space for kids to start the year. By having the supplies ready at the beginning of the year this will ensure that we will waste no time and we can begin learning as soon as school starts.
