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

Having access to a high-quality color copy machine opens up incredible opportunities for my students, but the cost of toner is currently beyond our means. With this project, I am seeking support to purchase toner cartridges that will allow us to fully utilize this valuable resource. Color copies make learning more engaging and accessible—whether it's vibrant visual aids, graphic organizers, student-created projects, or differentiated materials for diverse learning needs. When students see their work and learning materials come to life in color, it increases motivation, comprehension, and pride in their work.

My goal is to create a dynamic and inclusive classroom where every student feels seen, supported, and excited to learn.

Many of my students come from under-resourced communities, and they thrive when given tools that enhance their creativity and confidence. What makes my students special is their resilience, enthusiasm, and endless curiosity. They are eager to learn and express themselves, and with your support, we can ensure that they have the tools they need to do so in the most effective and inspiring way possible. Your donation will help bring color, literally and figuratively, into their educational journey.
