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'm asking for your support to help provide my students with composition notebooks, which are essential for a special class I teach focused on character building. In this class, we explore important values like respect, kindness, trust, bravery, and empathy—qualities that shape who they are and who they will become.These notebooks are more than just a place to write. They become personal journals where students reflect on their actions, express their thoughts, and grow emotionally and socially. Each entry helps them think deeply about the kind of people they want to be and how they can treat others with care and integrity.Many of my students don’t have the resources to bring their own materials, and I want to make sure every child has the same opportunity to participate fully. A simple notebook can make a big difference.Please consider donating to help me place one in each student's hands. Your generosity will help nurture strong, thoughtful, and compassionate young people who will carry these lessons far beyond the classroom.Thank you for your kindness and support.
