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 writing this proposal for my group of amazing students. I teach a unique class with many diverse needs. My class range in age from 5-11 years old and they are all deaf with other disabilities. Many of my students benefit greatly from hands-on learning experiences and educational games tailored to their unique needs. However, due to budget constraints, acquiring these resources has been challenging. With your support, I aim to create a more inclusive and engaging learning environment for my students and most importantly fun!

Your generous contribution will directly impact the lives of these remarkable students, empowering them to thrive academically and socially.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their everyday learning.

Thank you for considering my project, and for your commitment to supporting education for all students. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and would mean the would to myself and my little superheroes.

Thank you!

Mrs. Bernie
Grades PreK-2
