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 serve an amazing group of students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. The best thing about this group is that they truly do come from so many places and speak so many different languages and dialects. This year, our school has welcomed more newcomer students (new to the country) than ever before.

The uniform tops and bottoms requested in this project will directly impact the welfare of our newcomer students and their families.

Please help me provide these families with the basic necessities, such as uniforms, to begin to establish their lives here in the United States! Clean school uniforms will truly make a big difference in the lives of our immigrant families because students will be able to focus on their learning instead of the fact that they do not have school uniforms to wear.
