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 head into the final stretch of the school year, my fourth grade class is in need of some basic—but essential—supplies to help us finish strong! We’re running low on everyday items like markers, glue sticks, and tissues that keep our learning activities running smoothly and our classroom environment comfortable.

These simple materials may not seem like much, but they make a big difference in helping students stay focused, creative, and ready to learn every day.

Your support ensures that my students have what they need to end the year with confidence, creativity, and care. Thank you for considering supporting my classroom project!
