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 Students

I have a 5th grade class with thirty-one students. My students are bright-eyed, full of energy, and excited to come to school and learn new things every day.

Our school is located in the south side of Los Angeles.

We are a Title I school, and all of our students qualify for free lunch. My students welcome all and every single donation that we receive, and we need each and everything we can get. My students need materials to stay engaged and to have the right learning conditions to maximize engagement in the classroom.

My Project

For this project I am requesting a Macbook Air laptop, to help my students be able to go online and find different resources to become financially independent. They will be able to search different ways to make and save money.

My students will have an assignment about starting their own businesses.

They will need to research what they need to begin, and how to keep their business growing.

With your donations, my students will be able to have an apple Macbook Air laptop in the class and be able to have various resources to be successful in becoming financially literate.

My students and I are very excited to get this project funded and get started. Thank you for all of your support.
