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

As the year progresses, we need a continuous supply of pencils, notebooks, folders, and especially paper for printing multiple concerts worth of music. These school supplies will be instrumental (pun intended!) for keeping up with our very busy schedule and list of performances!

My goal for this project is that we will be fully supplied and organized for the remainder of the year and the upcoming one!

When students need pencils, a free notebook for class, or a folder because theirs is falling apart, the chorus room with be ready to lend. In addition, many organizers and filing folders will be helpful for this Type B teacher keeping up with our fantastic program.
