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 Students

Even with all of the world's problems weighing heavy on them, my students are the most motivated, positive, and enjoyable people to be around. They deserve every advantage that I can offer them. That is why I try hard every day to give them the best education possible.

Students are really excited to be back in the classroom and ready for instruction.

As a teacher in my first year at a new school, my students need all the resources they can get their hands on.

My Project

I need basic copy paper for assignments and newsletters to keep parents updated on what is happening in our classroom. Being at a new school, I still need basic supplies because one of the expectations is to send feedback home more often, but I need more paper to meet that requirement.

My classroom needs copy paper for assignments, homework, and parent letters.

Please help today. We need paper and it would be a lot easier if my classroom had a stack of reams of paper. The more paper I receive the more I can give out to the kids. This project is specifically asking for paper so I can have options with assignments, parent letters, and homework.
