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

Dr. Seuss so wonderfully proclaimed, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go." My students are eager to learn how to read on their own! We can help by providing the resources they need to reach their goals.

Ink can play a crucial role in helping your classroom learn about climate and the environment by enabling the creation and distribution of engaging, educational, and interactive materials.

With increasing concerns about climate change, it is essential that students understand the importance of environmental stewardship. However, many schools face budget constraints, making it difficult to afford necessary materials, such as ink, to produce high-quality educational content. This lack of resources can limit students’ exposure to critical environmental issues.

Ink supports the creation of a wide variety of materials that bring environmental education to life in a tangible and interactive way. By printing educational resources, I can offer my students visually rich, hands-on learning experiences that help deepen their understanding of climate change and environmental responsibility.
