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

Allow me to create a welcoming space for my ELL’s where they will be able to feel welcomed, heard and have the resources available for them to be able to succeed and ready to face any language challenges. Coming to a new country and meeting new people can be hard, but having a place that recognizes the importance of your language, culture and values is important for all of us. Thank you for your help and donations, my ELL’s will feel at home with comfy seats, accessibility to materials and a nice, clean and pleasant space.
