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

Starting as a freshman isn't always easy. Let's start these students off on the right foot with great classroom supplies and access to materials in a new school.

Teaching last year made me realize the essential supplies for my student is what I need most.

With your help, we can help lessen the cost of basic supplies such as pens, pencils, and coloring materials for our families. We use all of the class materials each day, and I'm hoping this will last at least through the fall, if not through the whole school year.

Any help is gratefully appreciated.
