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

In our classroom, writing is a daily essential—from note-taking and journaling to creative expression and test preparation. To keep students motivated and organized, we’re requesting a variety of high-quality pens, including Paper Mate Flair felt-tip pens, Pilot G2 gel pens, Sharpie S-Gel pens, and other vibrant writing tools.

These pens help students take pride in their work and stay engaged through colorful, smooth, and reliable writing.

For our classroom, having access to an assortment of writing instruments also means students can find the tools that best suit their comfort and learning needs. Whether it's outlining ideas, annotating texts, or simply adding personality to their work, these pens will make writing feel less like a task and more like a creative outlet. Your support helps bring color, confidence, and joy to our daily learning routines—thank you for helping us write our way to success!
