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 work in a low-income school, and most of my students are first-generation students attending school in the U.S. With your support I can offer them a learning environment where they can be kids and have fun learning. The science kit requested will help challenge student's thinking and promote learning enrichment. Adding LEGOs and magnet tiles to our recess stations will help promote social interaction with peers while having fun that does not require a computer. In addition by having cleaning supplies, I can provide my students with a clean and organized classroom to learn.

Ms. Lopez Fair Haven School Grades 3-5

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
