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

Encouraging a spirit of exploration and curiosity in students is truly invaluable for their growth and development. Hands-on learning experiences can be incredibly effective in fostering curiosity and creativity in students.

The Color Our World: A Request for Vibrant Paper Supplies, will provide the students the materials needed to enhance learning through hands-on activities.

Hands-on activities can make abstract concepts more tangible and memorable, leading to a deeper understanding of mathematics and science, and will help to foster retention of skills. The Xerox colored paper will be used to color code benchmarks and standards. The Post-it Notes will be used to write positive feedback or quick notes to students or for students to bookmark important pages in their notebooks.

Your generous donations will help create unforgettable and enriching learning experiences.
