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

The supplies I am requesting, including binders, sheet protectors, white cardstock paper for their conduct folders, headphones, clipboards, pencil sharpeners, and privacy folders, are essential for my students, many of whom come from low-income families and attend a Title I school. These students face various challenges, and having the right tools can make a significant difference in their academic success. Headphones will help students focus during digital lessons, binders and sheet protectors will keep their work organized, and the white cardstock paper will be used for their conduct folders. Clipboards will provide a sturdy surface for writing during group activities, pencil sharpeners will ensure that students have the tools they need for everyday tasks, and privacy folders will allow for independent work without distractions. These materials will help create a more equitable learning environment, ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential. Your support will directly impact their educational experience and help them thrive.
