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

Continuing with the same excitement every school year - after winter break - represents a perido of illusion and excitement for the students. Nonetheless, many of our students don't have the means to acquire basic school materials to keep at home. This project allows our students to have such materials for everyday use - promoting love and care for reading and writing - while being in the comfort of their home.

Our students crave discovery and knowledge, but most of all, they enjoy learning.

This project will help students have basic needs - books and blankets - to continue having a successful school year - in school and at home, while helping them grow care and love for learning!
