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

Budget cuts are really hurting us this year, and what used to be readily available are now luxury items, and I am asking for face tissues, markers, colored pencils, and copy paper for printouts.

Although individually these items do not cost too much, buying enough for 200 students is a tough task.

I am asking for support this year to be able to finish off the school year strong, and I hope to get these items for my students before I run out of my own stock of items and so we can finish our final projects for the rest of this school year.

Thank you for your support in these trying times.
