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

For my project I am requesting school supplies that students use everyday like pencils, erasers, crayons, color pencils and other essential items that will help with our everyday learning. I am also asking for a sturdy shelf to help organize our small space, and a teacher chair.

A happy teacher can make a huge difference in students' academic performance, emotional well-being and ability to succeed.

Something that makes me happy is knowing that I have the ability to provide them with the essential materials and resources they need. This project is important to me because with your help I can make that happen.

My students are very special. They are kind, hard working, and come to school every day eager and ready to learn. As teachers, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of our students to make sure they are successful.
