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’m reaching out to request your support in purchasing a storage cabinet for our classroom supplies.

What Makes My Students Special: My students are incredibly creative and enthusiastic learners.

They bring unique perspectives and ideas to our class, and I want to nurture that creativity.

Goals for This Project: My goal is to create an organized and inviting space where students can easily access the materials they need. By having a dedicated storage cabinet, we can enhance their learning experience and foster a more focused environment.

How Specific Items Will Make a Difference: The supplies I’m requesting—such as pencils, sharpeners, and paper—are essential for their artistic and academic development. Having these items readily available will allow students to explore their creativity without interruption, encouraging them to express themselves fully and engage more deeply in their learning.

If you can contribute or have suggestions on where to purchase a good cabinet, I would greatly appreciate your support. Together, we can make a significant difference in our classroom!

Thank you so much!
