FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Almonte's classroom raised $529

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

Providing my students with an inviting and comforting environment will enable them to feel at peace in our classroom. Having the necessities will ensure my students will get a quality education. We always aim to encourage self-worth and acceptance.

We lack a lot of basic necessities.

We need printer ink, lamination supplies, filler paper, and other basic classroom essentials. Your generosity will help my students have access to these items that they haven't had thus far.
