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'm reaching out to you on behalf of MD Fox School to request your support for our initiative aimed at nurturing young writers. Our students are passionate about learning, and with your help, we can provide them with the essential supplies they need to excel in their writing endeavors.

Your donation of binders, paper, pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, and scissors will directly impact our students' learning experience.

These materials not only serve as practical tools but also inspire creativity and foster a love for writing. With access to these resources, our students will be empowered to explore their ideas and express themselves effectively through the written word.

By contributing to our cause, you are investing in the future of these aspiring writers and helping us create a supportive learning environment. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of our students, equipping them with the skills and confidence they need to succeed academically and beyond. Thank you for considering our request and for your commitment to empowering young learners.

Warm regards,

Erica Short
