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

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to ensure that all our wonderful second graders have the materials they need to finish strong and continue their learning with confidence.

Your support can provide a meaningful difference.

We would appreciate donations of copy paper and tissues. This will help students of low-income families who cannot make any more donations, knowing they will need to buy more supplies for the next school year.

These supplies will help our students complete end-of-year projects and activities and will also support them as they transition into summer learning.

You can make a lasting impact on our students!
