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

This is my first year with my own classroom, and I’m starting from nothing. I don’t have extra pencils, whiteboards, markers, folders, erasers, or notebooks-any of the basics that make a room run. I want my students to walk into a space that’s ready for them, where they have what they need to work, think, and feel like they belong.

With your help, I’ll be able to stock up on the supplies that let us focus on learning instead of what we’re missing.

Every donation helps me get this room up and running for a group of students who deserve it.
