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

I recently became my school's AVID Site Coordinator and need a place to store our AVID program supplies. We have supplies for making shirts, bonding activities, college research info, field trip supplies, fundraising supplies, binders, and our recently donated boom box. I have no where to store these as my room has less storage than the previous coordinator.

My AVID students need a place to keep their supplies safe.

I love doing fun projects with them and having a place to keep their supplies organized will help me be able to provide them with more opportunities.
