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

Every student is special and valuable. During mid-school year, my classroom has increased in size with wonderful students who are happy to be in school and eager to learn. My students and families have experienced hardship and struggle. Currently they are faced with unforeseen financial challenges and need support.

I have created this project to enrich their learning experience and make them feel they are in a safe environment.

These book bags will be big enough to fit their devices and chargers. Water bottles and snacks will be provided to give them a boost of energy throughout the day and help them improve their attention and focusing skills. Classroom supplies will be distributed to help them keep their classwork & materials organized. These basic things will make a huge impact with their school learning experience.

Mrs. Yildirim Middle School 113 Ronald Edmonds Learning Center Grades 6-8

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

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
