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 Students

I am happy to present to you the students that I teach. The students of my Middle School are a resilient, urban populous. My students are caring, wise beyond their years and eager to learn. They face many challenges to learning including, financial, social and emotional barriers.

Coming from multicultural backgrounds and many at risk families within our community, my students face unique challenges on a daily basis.

My students work hard and find ways to overcome the hurdles in front of them. To have access to additional resources in my classroom would open up a world of opportunity for my students. Your donations will help to mitigate the challenges facing my students.

My Project

My students desperately need traditional school supplies. Often times we experience great shortages of resources and the simplest of tools as a pencil, pen or paper that are essential to learning are gone without. I also included pencil sharpeners as our school does not provide classrooms with sharpeners. The tapestry map, oversized chairs and inspirational poster are meant to increase my classroom environment through bolstering flexible seating, improving aesthetics, and promoting optimism.

I am new to donors choose, and am hopeful this can provide resources to my students.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Use promo code LIFTOFF for donation matching.
