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

Every child deserves to come to school feeling prepared and confident. My Pre-K students are just beginning their educational journey, and having a backpack of their own helps them develop responsibility, independence, and excitement about learning.

The backpacks from this project will provide my students with a safe and reliable way to carry their school supplies, important classroom materials, and take-home learning activities.

For many young learners, a backpack is more than just a school item—it is a symbol of belonging and readiness to learn.

By providing backpacks for my students, you will help ensure that every child starts the school year equipped with the tools they need for success. Your generosity will help build confidence, encourage organization, and create a positive learning experience for our youngest students. These backpacks will support learning both in the classroom and at home, making a lasting impact on each child's educational journey.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
