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

Hi ! I am looking forward to the new school year. We would love to have supplies to help create a welcoming environment. I have noticed the great impact snack has done for our kiddos. It helps us calm down from recess and a chance to spend time together while we eat our snack. Another thing would be things like magnets and tape to help set up the classroom to help create a place students are going to love to learn. This will help create a fun start to the new year.
