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

Dear Donors,

Imagine the excitement on a first grader's face as they walk into their classroom on the first day of school, eager to learn and explore the world of education.

Now, envision the disappointment when they realize they lack the necessary tools to fully engage in their learning journey. This scenario is all too real for many first graders in low-income schools. However, with your support, we can change this narrative and provide these students with the essential school supplies they need to thrive.

Low-income families often struggle to afford essentials like notebooks, pencils, and crayons. Your donation will ensure every student has the tools to engage fully in their learning.

A well-stocked classroom sends a powerful message of support and value to students, reducing stress and promoting positive learning experiences.

Your donation will make a difference in the lives of these young learners, setting them on the path to a bright and successful future. Thank you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Miss George
