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

Dear potential donor,

Thank you for considering helping our communities outstanding 5th grade students of TE!

We could use your help in refreshing our classroom. One of our white boards has lost its coating and needs replacement. Our student screens lasted about 8 years but are not worn out. Your contribution no matter how small will help our Title 1 low socio-economic demographic. Please be assured the teacher works hard and so do the students. Our class led the school in the iReady program and were close to tops in the Scholastic Reading program too! Thank you for your time, Mr. Cooley and class :)
