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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting are to reward my students for their hard work during the first semester. I would love to celebrate my book club students before our winter break. A winter celebration with hot chocolate and gift bags filled with items they love is a great way of acknowledging all of their hard work.

These items will bring smiles to my student's faces!

We would greatly appreciate any help and support to ensure my students end the first semester off with a beautiful celebration. With your help, we can bring this celebration to life. Thank you in advance!
