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 am seeking essential supplies to create a dynamic, organized, and healthy learning environment for my students.

This project will fund dry erase lap boards and class sets of crayons and markers, providing individual, reusable opportunities for creative expression, problem-solving, and interactive learning.

Additionally, we need Kleenex Professional Facial Tissues, Lysol wipes, hand sanitizer, and bandaids to ensure a clean and safe space, promoting student well-being and minimizing disruptions.

Finally, organizational baskets will help keep our classroom tidy and resources easily accessible. Your support for these fundamental items will empower my students to thrive academically and personally, fostering both their creativity and a comfortable, supportive learning atmosphere.
