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

At our Title I school, many of our English Language Learner (ELL) students face significant financial challenges, making it difficult for them to afford essential learning tools like headphones. For over three years, I have been diligently working to build a class set of headphones, often purchasing them out of my own pocket. However, the need continues to grow.

This project seeks to provide our ELL students with high-quality headphones to enhance their auditory learning experience.

These headphones will create a focused and immersive learning environment, crucial for language acquisition and comprehension. By supporting this project, you will directly impact the academic success and confidence of our students, giving them the tools they need to thrive despite their financial hardships. Your generosity will help bridge the gap and ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
