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

Ready to be a classroom hero? Help my dual-language inner-city students shine by supporting our DonorsChoose project! Instead of asking my students for their supplies at the beginning of the year, I would like you to consider helping me get them what they need.

We need essential supplies like pencils, dry-erase markers and erasers, cardstock, and labels to fuel our learning adventures.

These resources are used on a daily basis in our math and science class when students are working on the whiteboards in small groups and at their tables with their lap boards the dry-erase markers and erasers are a must. We use cardstock to copy math task cards, so they are durable.

Your generosity can transform our classroom into a hub of creativity and knowledge.

Let's give these bright minds the tools they need to thrive and make learning fun and engaging. Together, we can create a vibrant, resourceful environment for our future leaders!

Thank you for being so supportive!

Mrs. Marrero-Crespo Joseph Hurley K-8 School Grades 6-8
