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

These essential materials can help the students get ready to learn. Most students struggle to bring these materials to school every day, and they have a hard time focusing. They are wasting time looking for a pencil or disrupting the class because they need it now.

Students need these materials every day for writing, making their projects look colorful, and having a nice treat after the hard work that they do every day.

We all know how important it is to keep a clean classroom during the winter season when everyone gets sick. Being in school is very important to continue learning!
