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

My middle school students are eager to learn and grow when given the right tools and support. This project will provide interactive notebook supplies and engaging classroom resources that promote hands-on learning, organization, and student participation. These beanbags, pillows, composition notebooks, and other materials will help students better understand content, build confidence, and stay actively engaged in lessons. In addition, the resources will help create a safe, welcoming classroom environment where every student feels valued, supported, and encouraged to succeed. Your generosity will help provide meaningful learning experiences and empower students to reach their full potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
