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

We're seeking your help to provide our incredible students with a class set of headphones and microphones. These tools will be game-changers, allowing students to engage deeply in video and audio projects. With personalized audio resources and clear communication through microphones, their learning will soar. I'm excited to do some digital financial literacy lessons that need headphones. Our goals include fostering creativity, refining presentation skills, and promoting teamwork. Our students, diverse and motivated, are the heart of this project. Your contribution will empower them to excel and shine in their educational journey. Thank you for being a vital part of our mission!
