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

This project is dedicated to ensuring we have the basic supplies needed for effective teaching and learning.

Through this project, you will be helping to provide our classrooms with essential items such as engaging lessons and materials, cleaning wipes to start the year, paper, ink, markers, and Playdoh.

By meeting these basic needs, we can remove obstacles to learning and foster a more productive and inclusive classroom atmosphere.

By addressing the lack of basic school supplies, this project will have a positive impact on student engagement, academic performance, and overall classroom dynamics. It will create a level playing field, ensuring that all students have equal access to the resources needed for educational success.
