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

Is is the middle of the 3rd quarter of the school year and my classroom is in need of some basic supplies. These are the not-so-basics that keep our speech room running for the remainder of the year!

Having a well-stocked classroom keeps speech sessions running smoothly for my amazing students.

I get to work with some of the most creative, imaginative, and kind students an educator could ask for. We have been having a great year, learning new communication strategies. But we are beginning to run low on the supplies that help behind the scenes to make these sessions run smoothly. Your support for some much needed stickers, laminating pouches, and manila envelopes is much appreciated!
