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

I absolutely love my students’ resilience and curiosity. They come to school eager to learn, despite the challenges they face outside the classroom. My students are creative, determined, and always ready to explore new ideas. They inspire me every day with their positive attitudes and desire to succeed.

I am requesting basic classroom supplies, including notebooks, pencils, markers, and organizational tools.

These items are essential for creating an engaging and effective learning environment. With these supplies, my students will be able to fully participate in lessons, express their creativity, and stay organized. This will help them develop essential skills such as writing, problem-solving, and collaboration.

My goal for this project is to provide my students with the tools they need to thrive academically and personally. By ensuring they have the necessary supplies, I can create a classroom atmosphere that supports active learning, creativity, and confidence.

My students are special because they are eager to learn and grow, despite facing numerous obstacles. They deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential, and these supplies will help them do just that. Thank you for considering my project and helping my students succeed.
