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 mother to have a successful year one must have the supplies needed to work. With the donation of the requested supplies my students will be able to work on day one.

To some the requested items may seem small but to students without it’s a start to a fantastic year .

We use whiteboards and expos daily in our class and the donation of expos will be a blessing. When school starts most parents send a set of pencils but as we s know they don’t last long. Every item that I have requested is a necessity and greatly needed.
