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

Thank you all so much for your amazing generosity in providing school supplies for my classroom and students here at United South Middle School. The students were all so happy to come into a decorated and lively classroom! They started school excited and ready to tackle a new year.

On behalf of my students and me, I want to thank you for your generous donation to help my student's resources for the 2023-2024 school year.

My 8th-grade students are beyond excited to be reading such engaging and thought-provoking resources.

We could not be here today learning in such engaging ways without your amazing donation. I cannot begin to express my gratitude, and I am blessed that there are people like you in this world.

THANK YOU for your generous donation. I am so grateful; but more importantly, our students will be. Your generosity, support, and investment are so appreciated.
