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

My students are brave, bold, bright, and curious. In the face of a global pandemic, they have shown their resilience and brilliance.

They will be the change-makers of the future.

This project will support all 400 students in every TK-5th grade classroom, and - at a time when funding is an ongoing challenge, they so deserve every opportunity to continue to learn and grow.

My Project

Your donation will support our ability to continue learning and growing safely in school by providing the highest quality masks for all students. Our curriculum is grounded in our mission: To create an empowering space for Black, Indigenous, and all minoritized children, families, and communities grounded in antiracist values and fostering activism and lifelong learning.

We cannot mask our excitement to learn about the beauty and brilliance of Black and Indigenous children and families, as well as those of Latinx, Muslim, LGBTQ+, and other too-often underrepresented groups.

We can, however, mask the beautiful faces of our incredible children so that they can continue to learn safely. Please help us!
