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

Thank you Donors for your ongoing support of public education. I teach small groups of reading and math all day. Because I am not a classroom teacher, I don't get supplies donated to my room. Please consider supporting my students so that I can give the best , most engaging lessons I can. My school is 100% free and reduced. We get donations for classrooms and for individual students, but "extra" or "special" teachers don't get those. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It is appreciated more than you'll ever know!

Mrs. Kenny
Grades 3-5
