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

Hi! Many of my students cannot afford the basic necessities they need to start the school year. From notebooks to pencil sharpeners and glue sticks, this project will help all my students feel like they have what they need to start the school year out no matter their socio-economic status. I also included a few books for students to read along our curriculum to foster a love for reading that aligns with what they are learning. I am excited to see them start off the year strong. Thank you for your generous donation to my classroom!

Mrs. Sauder
Grades 3-5
