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

We are getting ready for a fresh start for the new school year! We want to start the new year with new supplies like pencil pouches, name tags, and notebooks that will help us be ready to learn on the first day of school!

We are looking forward to starting a new school year in the fall and want to make sure we are prepared by having all the things we need to be successful.

Most students in my district show up on the first day of school eager to learn and ready for a new school year but often lack the school supplies they need to be successful. With your donations, I will be able to create a supply bin for all the students who need school supplies, like pencil pouches, nameplates, and pencils.They will be able to help themselves without having to ask! There will be a designated area of supplies for all students to access. Thank you for your generous donations!
