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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Many students come to school hungry everyday. Food insecurity is running prominently nowadays. I currently have 26 students who often come to school hungry everyday. I also could use some help with classroom supplies. These supplies will make learning easier, student will have a snack upon request and I can be of service when it comes to the needs of my students being hungry. We could also use a classroom printer. As of right now we do not have one.
