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 constantly inspired by my students’ passion for learning and their dedication to doing their best. They bring unique talents, curiosity, and energy into the classroom, making every day exciting. What I love most about my students is their determination to succeed and how they support one another in the learning process.

The privacy folders and regular folders I’m requesting will make a big difference in their learning by helping them stay organized and focused.

Privacy folders will give students a personal space to work, helping them concentrate without distractions—whether they are working on tests, assignments, or creative projects. Regular folders will help them keep their materials and notes neatly organized, making it easier to track progress, stay on top of assignments, and reduce clutter in the classroom. As for the pencils, well we definitely could use those!

My goal for this project is to provide students with the tools they need to stay organized and focused so they can achieve their full potential. By having dedicated space for privacy and organization, students will feel empowered to take ownership of their learning, stay on task, and complete their work with pride.

What makes my students special is their diversity, creativity, and resilience. They come from different backgrounds, and each of them approaches challenges in their own unique way. They support each other and work hard to reach their goals. With the right resources, they can continue to grow, stay organized, and excel in all their endeavors.

With your support, we can provide the tools they need to succeed academically and stay focused on their path to success. Thank you for helping us keep it all together!
