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

When scholars have all the necessary supplies to succeed, they can focus on their education more.

Some basic supplies that I have requested that my students need in their daily life.

When students do not have access to basic supplies like pencils, pens, hand sanitizer, and water, they fall behind in completing their assignments or do not come to school. Ensuring that students have access to the essential supplies to succeed in school should be a priority.

Many scholars have many other things to worry about, and having the necessary basic supplies should not be one of them. Access to essential basic supplies should be a top priority item on our list to help support the needs of our students.

Mr. McDerby IS 77 Joseph F Quinn School Grades 6-8
