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

Our classroom is a place where students grow, learn, and thrive every day. Each student brings their own unique talents, dreams, and energy to our room, and together, they create a community built on kindness, curiosity, and a love of learning. To help create the best environment possible, we are seeking donations for hygiene items, engaging games, and essential school supplies.

Hygiene items such as tissues, hand sanitizer, and personal care products will help keep our students healthy and confident, allowing them to focus more fully on their learning without distractions.

Games will not only make our classroom more fun but also strengthen critical skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. School supplies like pencils, notebooks, and art materials will ensure that every student has what they need to participate fully and creatively in all activities.

Our goal for this project is to build a classroom environment where every student feels safe, supported, and excited to learn each day. By meeting basic needs and providing enriching materials, we can help remove barriers to learning and give every child the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

What makes our students special is their incredible resilience, creativity, and heart. They come to school eager to learn, to help one another, and to grow both academically and personally. With your support, we can continue to nurture their growth and make our classroom a place where every child can shine.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for believing in our students and helping us create a space where learning and joy go hand in hand!
