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

This summer, help us equip our Title 1 urban district students with essential classroom supplies to maximize their learning experience. We are in need of pencils, notebooks, folders, highlighters, notebooks, expo markers, and other basic materials. These items are vital for fostering a productive learning environment, allowing students to engage in hands-on activities, stay organized, and express their creativity. All of these items will help set students up for success.

With your generous contributions, we can ensure every child is prepared and empowered to succeed this summer and beyond.

Let’s help our summer students shine!
