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

Please help us to get the supplies needed to start the year off right !

Basic supplies, such as pencils, crayons and glue can be costly for some families.

This grant will allow us to provide daily home folders, writing folders, crayons and glue to each of our students for the upcoming school year. For many of our students it is also their first time attending school. We would like to send out post cards welcoming our students and it will give us the opportunity to introduce ourselves to the students before the first day. I mean who doesn't love mail? Having an engaging and exciting environment is important. We have added a sign to help bring some cheer to our space to welcome our new students.
