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

This project will help meet my students' basic needs. Many of my students come from homes and families that have financial limitations. It would be a blessing if they were provided with materials that could enrich their learning. This project is to also help me build a classroom library that is filled with diverse and inclusive books. It is essential that my students read books with characters that look like them or share the same experiences. This project is about embracing my students where they are and encouraging them to go further.

Ms. Evans Hillcrest Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
