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 getting ready for the school year, and I am trying to get a few things to start the year off right. We need a few snacks for the children, as well as some schoolyard toys they will enjoy using. I am also looking to keep the classroom nice & clean so some cleaning products are also on our list.

These items are crucial for our class and it's very difficult for some of our families to be able to purchase these items from the start, as they have their own school supply expenses.

The children will be able to enjoy their snacks, as well as use the schoolyard items with their new friends. The cleaning supplies are also crucial as we need to maintain the classroom and keep it nice and clean for our little ones.
