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

I am deeply moved by the resilience, creativity, and untapped potential within my incredible second and third grade students. Amidst the challenges of poverty, their hunger for knowledge shines brightly. New resources will be a game-changer, bridging educational gaps and fostering an environment where every student can thrive. My goals for this project include providing access to new games for recess, incentives for learning, and headphones for math in order to empower students to break free from the cycle of poverty through education. What makes my students special is their unwavering determination to learn and succeed, and with your support, we can provide them the tools they deserve to unleash their full potential.
