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

For this project, I am requesting essential materials to help start the school year prepared and organized. These are items that are not typically provided by parents or my school district unless donated.

I am seeking laminating sheets to create durable, hands-on activities; whiteboard markers for daily instruction; wooden craft sticks to support differentiated learning; and a treasure chest to help motivate and reward students.

These supplies play an important role in fostering student engagement and supporting academic success.

Your generous donation will directly benefit my students and help minimize out-of-pocket expenses as I begin the new school year. With your support, I can ensure that my classroom is well-equipped with the basic materials I use daily to create meaningful and effective learning experiences.
