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 students all come from different walks of life. The requested items will meet some basic needs. All my students would benefit from access to these supplies which I normally fund myself. Help with these basics would allow me to focus my funds on more hands-on activities and classroom activities.

My students love hands-on projects and do a good job of being prepared, but we can start to run out of supplies during the year.

I would love to be able to have these needs covered so that students can come to class ready to learn.
