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

It is amazing how much time you waste in a day if you are unorganized. I love the space and team feel that comes from using desks and not tables in a classroom, but it does create a paper mess if you are not careful. We would love to have a place to keep all of our important documents and books.

My kids are amazing.

We are a very low income school district, and my kids deserve a clean space where they can grow and learn. My kids are funny, and never fail to amaze me. They create so much work that our classroom can become a mess of papers if we are not careful.

My Project

I am asking for three beautiful storage bins so that each of my thirty students can have a small space that is just for their things. Kids want a place to store what is important to them, and want a space that is open and inviting, not cluttered with materials.

Kids need a way of organizing themselves so they can really maximize their learning time at school, and can find their work easily.

As an adult organization is essential to add to efficiency. I want my kids to grow to be such successful adults, and this is only the beginning. Your support would help us so much.
