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

In my school, many students face daily challenges that extend beyond the classroom. One of the most basic obstacles is the lack of essential school supplies. For many of my students, the ability to access paper, pens, and necessary hygiene items is a luxury they cannot afford. As a result, students are often left behind in their education, unable to participate fully or keep up with their peers. This project seeks to provide students with the tools they need to succeed—school supplies that will not only aid their academic progress but also boost their confidence and sense of belonging in the classroom.

Your generous donation will directly impact my students' ability to learn and thrive.

Supplies such as pens, highlighters, paper and cleaning supplies will help eliminate barriers to learning, ensuring that every student has what they need to complete assignments, take notes, and engage in class activities. By providing these essentials, you are not just giving students the physical tools for learning; you are offering them the opportunity to succeed and achieve their dreams. Your support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young people and empower them to reach their fullest potential. Thank you for investing in their future!
