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 want to update the classroom supplies we use daily. With 130 students, supplies are easily one of the first things to run out and run dry.

I want to provide my students with enough supplies that they all have access to participate in each lesson to the fullest without the distractions that come from "not enough to go around."

It is important that my students have access to learning materials not just digitally but also supplies that allow for their physical creativity to show.

Mx. Tottingham Elmhurst United Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
