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

Help our students become confident problem-solvers! Our classrooms thrive on curiosity and exploration, and with your support, we can provide engaging logic puzzles and games that sharpen critical thinking skills. These resources will empower students to tackle challenges with creativity, resilience, and reasoning.

Not only will these puzzles enhance daily learning in the classroom, but they will also be incorporated into family events—giving students and their loved ones opportunities to bond over brain teasers and strategic games.

Your generosity will create an enriching environment where students develop essential life skills through play.

Ms. Sanchez Bailey Gatzert Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
