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

I am asking for basic classroom supplies to help refresh the classroom for a successful end to the school year. We need supplies to annotate readings in class, basic cleaning items to keep the space ready for learning, and other items to ensure students succeed during every lesson.

The new supplies will be used daily in the classroom as students prepare to end the school year strong - this is especially important as we get closer to state testing time!

Students deserve a wonderful space filled with the basics in order to finish this school year off strong. Please consider supporting students in this way.
