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

I am proud to teach a hardworking, respectful group of students who show up each day eager to learn. Many of my students are English language learners or come from diverse backgrounds, and they thrive when their environment is clean, structured, and organized. They take pride in their classroom and appreciate when they are included in efforts to keep it neat and efficient. Creating a positive learning space is essential for their focus and emotional well-being.

To support our classroom routines, we are requesting a heavy-duty paper shredder and a supply of high-quality printer paper.

The shredder will help us safely and efficiently dispose of outdated or sensitive materials, giving students a clearer workspace and reducing distractions. It also teaches them about responsibility and sustainability as they help manage classroom documents. The printer paper will support our daily academic activities, from reading and writing practice to creating instructional materials and organizing student work.

These resources will help foster a clean, calm, and productive classroom environment where students feel safe and supported. Your donation will not only provide physical supplies, but also show students that their learning space, and their learning journey, matters. Thank you for considering our project and helping us build a more organized and effective classroom.
