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

Help me supply basic supplies for my students. I am requesting binders, pencils, and a file cabinet to keep sensitive student information. Help me get an Apple Pencil for our classroom iPad to show students how to annotate and use 21st-century research skills.

My students and their families should not have to decide between a binder for class or food on the table.

Your donations will directly go to materials that will be used daily by students in my classroom. The binders will become each students' history textbook they will compile over the course of a year.
