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 Students

My students are curious, bright, and enthusiastic historians who come to class eager to explore the world and understand history.

They thrive when learning is hands-on and interactive, but they come from diverse backgrounds and often lack basic organizational and daily learning supplies. Despite these challenges, they show up every day ready to collaborate, ask thoughtful questions, and dive deep into our social studies lessons. They deserve a well-stocked classroom where lack of basic resources never stands in the way of their learning.

My Project

This project will provide our classroom a steady supply of basic classroom materials ensures that our learning environment remains fully maintained and prepared every single day. Students will never have to worry about missing tools during lessons, keeping our focus strictly on historical discovery, critical thinking, and collaborative projects. Your support will give my students an organized, well-equipped space to take pride in their work all year long!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
