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 are leaders of the future. They are curious, positive, and take charge of their learning. It is my goal to create a learning environment that promotes positive identity, cultural representation, and academic readiness.

By donating to this project, you would be helping to purchase developmentally appropriate classroom materials for a preschool program serving a diverse student population.

The funds will support the acquisition of inclusive notebooks & markers/pens, felt storytelling kits that reflect multicultural narratives, and hands-on math supplies designed to foster equity in early learning.

Thank you for your consideration and for supporting my classroom!

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