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

Hello, I am writing to seek your support in providing writing notebooks and other writing tools for my enthusiastic and talented first-grade students. I am committed to fostering a love for learning and nurturing the creative abilities of my young learners. These notebooks play a crucial role in developing essential writing skills and encouraging self-expression among our students.

I firmly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity and enhance their literacy skills.

By providing them with writing notebooks and other tools, we can inspire their imaginations and empower them to express their thoughts and ideas freely. It will not only benefit their academic growth but also instill confidence and a lifelong love for writing.

Thank You.

Mrs. Contreras Liberty Elementary School Grades PreK-2
