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 am becoming slightly sad because the school year's end is coming super quickly. My class was smaller this year, but we still had lots of fun. This has been one of the most stress-free school years of my career, honestly!

At the end of every school year, I begin to think about the NEXT school year and what I should give away, pack up, or replenish/replace.

Next year, I want to spruce up my reading corner with a new blanket, rug, padded stools, and pillows. These will all go in our pink and purple reading tent, and I believe these items would pop and look cute and inviting!

I am also asking for storage tubs to assist with packing up the MANY items that you donors have GENEROUSLY funded over the last decade. They are huge and have handles which is VERY helpful!

Thank you for reading.
