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 reaching out to ask for your support in providing EXPO markers for my classroom. These markers are an essential tool for interactive learning, allowing students to engage in activities such as solving math problems, brainstorming ideas, and practicing writing skills on whiteboards. Having a variety of EXPO markers ensures that our lessons remain engaging, colorful, and effective.

Your contribution will help:

-Keep our classroom well-stocked with reliable, easy-to-read markers.

-Provide students with the tools they need for hands-on learning and collaboration.

-Make learning more dynamic with colorful visual aids.

Every donation, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in our daily classroom experience. Thank you for considering this request and for supporting the growth and creativity of my students.
