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

We are looking for a few basic supplies to help us finish out the year. Glue sticks and erasers are always in short supply, as are tissues. Due to seasonal allergies and colds, we are "blowing" right through our tissues.

The requested tennis balls will help keep our floors looking clean as the year winds down.

They will also help reduce the noise from chairs moving as we move up and down and all around throughout our day. The current tennis balls we are using have seen much better days and are slowly getting thrown out as they are no longer helpful.
