Celebrating 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
Too often, students from low-income communities—particularly Black and Brown children—start the school year at a disadvantage, not because of a lack of potential, but because of a lack of resources. A high-quality backpack may seem simple, but for many of my students, it's a daily reminder of whether or not they’re seen, valued, and set up for success.
This project includes durable backpacks that will allow my students to proudly carry their books, tech, and supplies.
Representation means more than books and posters—it means equitable access to the basic items that support learning and self-worth. Your support will help close this gap.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
