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

My students range from ages 8 to 11. They are young girls participating in a program known as GEM's (Girl Empowerment Movement). My students are respectful, motivated, and eager to learn new things. They are especially eager to learn more self care skills.

By donating to this project you will help provide care packages to young girls learning about self care and increasing self confidence.

The students will be able to practice self care at home and at school. In addition to care packages, the journals, pens, pencils, and stickers will allow students to write down what they are feeling.

Providing my students with hair accessories, personal care items (deodorant, lotion) and anxiety toys will help our weekly lessons come to life. I requested chips to provide small snacks during our weekly meetings.

Ms. Rivera Leaders of Excellence, Advocacy, & Discovery Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
