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

My energetic and curious 2nd grade students are ready to kick off a year full of learning, growth, and discovery. Many of them come to school without the basic supplies they need to stay organized and succeed. With your support, I hope to provide each student with essential materials to help them start the year confidently and prepared.

Bringing in backpacks filled with Back-to-School supplies, at the "beginning" of the year, will give all of my "bright" learners a big boost!

We're in need of pencil pouches, composition books, spiral notebooks, sleeve and pocket folders—items that help keep student work orderly and accessible. In addition, a label maker and labels will help us personalize and neatly arrange classroom supplies, desks, and materials, building a sense of ownership and responsibility among students.

These tools may seem simple, but they play a powerful role in setting the tone for a well-managed and systematically successful school year. With your assistance, my students will be better equipped to focus on what really matters: learning, collaborating, and developing skills that will serve them for years to come.

Thank you for helping us "Begin" the school year off "Bright!"
