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

Many immigrants and refugees coming to Philadelphia have escaped great hardships, poverty, and unrest for safety, and seek freedom and better economic opportunities. Our learners range from having experienced little to no schooling to being accomplished professionals in their homeland.

We always are working on writing projects and need pens, pencils, erasers, and pencil sharpeners desperately.

But your gift means so much because it shows us that there are awesome people like you who care about kids and their education.

The supplies you purchase will help the students learn phonics, reading, and writing and we are so grateful!
