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

Hello everyone! I currently got hired at an amazing school in National City, California. The population of students I will be working with come from under-resourced communities. Many of my students will have difficulty purchasing basic materials like scissors, markers, and glue sticks.

I want all students to have the same access to these materials so that ALL are able to engage in the creative learning that will take place in my classroom.

In order to give my students the best possible learning experience, I NEED YOUR HELP. Thank you so much for considering being part of making education equitable.
