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

My students are curious, energetic, and eager to express themselves through both words and art. They come to school ready to learn, but many lack the basic supplies they need to participate fully in classroom activities. To support their growth, I am requesting essential materials: pencils, markers, crayons, and erasers.

These tools are used daily across every subject.

Pencils help my students write stories, solve math problems, and complete science observations. Crayons and markers allow them to illustrate their ideas, work on creative projects, and bring their imaginations to life. Erasers help them feel confident enough to take risks, knowing they can always revise their work.

For many of my students, these materials are not available at home, and it's a challenge to keep our classroom stocked. With your help, we can ensure every child has access to the basic supplies they need to succeed and feel proud of their work.
