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 hope this message finds you well! I'm reaching out with an important request for support in our classroom. As we strive to create the best learning environment for our students, we face ongoing challenges in providing basic snacks and cleaning supplies to ensure their well-being.

Many of our students come to class hungry, and having access to a quick snack can make all the difference in their focus and success throughout the school day.

We also need cleaning essentials to maintain a safe and sanitary classroom for everyone, especially during flu season.
