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

Donating a cart equipped with essential supplies like a class pack of Crayola colored pencils, jumbo pencils, two 30 packs of cookies, and two 40 packs of fruit gummies is crucial for the special needs students of our Elementary, a title one school catering to students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Special needs students often require additional support and resources to aid in their learning and development. The Crayola colored pencils and jumbo pencils provide them with the necessary tools to express themselves creatively and engage in art activities, fostering their cognitive and fine motor skills. Additionally, the packs of cookies and fruit gummies serve as nutritious snacks, essential for maintaining energy levels and concentration throughout the school day, ensuring that these students have the fuel they need to participate fully in their educational experiences.

By donating this cart filled with supplies tailored to the needs of special education students at our Elementary, you're not only providing them with the tools they require for academic success but also demonstrating care and support for their overall well-being.

Many of these students come from low-income backgrounds, making access to such resources even more challenging. Your generosity will alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by both the school and the families of these students, allowing them to focus on learning and growth without worrying about the availability of necessary supplies. This donation embodies the spirit of inclusivity and compassion, ensuring that every student, regardless of their abilities or background, has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential in the classroom and beyond.
