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

My students come to school each day ready to learn, grow, and do their best—but sometimes, not having basic supplies can get in the way of that success. In our classroom, we believe that every student deserves the tools they need to feel confident, stay organized, and fully participate in their learning journey.

With your support, I’m hoping to stock our classroom with essential supplies like pencils, markers, folders, dry erase boards, erasers, and sticky notes—things that help us stay focused and make learning more hands-on and engaging.

These might seem like small items, but they make a big difference in helping students feel prepared and proud of their work.

Whether we’re solving math problems, diving into a good book, or showing what we know during small group work, having the right materials at our fingertips allows us to make the most of every moment together.

Your generosity will help create a learning environment where all students can shine. Thank you for helping set them up for success!
