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

As a first-year teacher, I’m filled with excitement, passion, and big dreams—but starting from scratch can be a challenge. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and engaging classroom where every student feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique strengths and needs to the classroom.

With your help, I can provide the basic tools, resources, and learning materials that make a huge difference—like organizational supplies, books, hands-on learning tools, and flexible seating.

Your support will not only help me build a strong foundation as an educator, but it will also empower my students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we can make this first year one to remember—for me and for them.
