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

As a third-grade teacher, I am committed to providing my students with the tools they need to succeed in their educational journey. My classroom is full of bright, eager learners who are excited to explore new concepts and develop their skills. However, many of my students come from low-income households and lack access to basic school supplies.

I am requesting folders, pencils, and other essential supplies to ensure that every student has what they need to stay organized and engaged.

These materials might seem simple, but they play a critical role in helping students manage their work, complete assignments, and build confidence in their abilities.

With your support, we can create a classroom environment where all students have the resources they need to thrive. Your donation will help us achieve academic success and inspire a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
