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’m excited to share that I will be teaching 1st grade bilingual next school year! As I prepare to welcome a bright group of young learners, I want to ensure our classroom is a space where students feel organized, supported, and ready to succeed. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to building a nurturing environment where my students can focus on learning, not lacking. Your support will directly impact their daily experience and help set the tone for a successful year.

Thank you for considering a donation to our project.

We appreciate your generosity and belief in our bilingual learners!
