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 name is Giovanna Hobbs, and I am a special education teacher. I recently took over a resource classroom for kindergarten, first, and second graders, and unfortunately, the class is lacking in supplies due to the absence of a special education teacher before my arrival.

I am reaching out to request funding support to help provide essential supplies for my students.

These supplies like counters and sorters, books, and manipulatives are crucial for creating a conducive learning environment and ensuring that each student has the tools they need to succeed.

Any contribution, big or small, would make a significant difference in the lives of these young learners. Your support would not only benefit the current students in my classroom but also future students who will benefit from these supplies.

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the education and well-being of these students.
