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

This project's purpose is to restock basic classroom supplies that students need all the time and to restock the hygiene supplies that fifth graders need. This project has lots of items like deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs that are given to students who need them.

It's difficult to learn if you don't feel comfortable with your body.

Fifth grade is a tough year for many, but having basic hygiene supplies shouldn't be something that our students struggle with at school. Having plenty of these supplies in student-accessible drawers allows students to discreetly take what they need, when they need it.

Ms. Baril South Lawrence East Elementary School Grades 3-5

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
