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 have worked as a teacher in a New Jersey school district for over thirty years, teaching sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students.

Our school budget has been cut this school year, making it difficult to obtain the supplies and equipment for our students.

Please help me to continue supplying my students with school supplies needed for a successful school year, which is very costly for most parents.

My students need crayons, colored pencils, pencils, erasers, rulers and folders. With these school supplies, they will have a successful year.

Let's help our families!
