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 approach the winter season, we want to provide our students with supplies to help them make it to school warm and ready to learn.

By donating to this project, you are giving our scholars hats, scarves, gloves, ponchos, chap stick, lotion and umbrellas to help them battle the frigid weather as they walk or take public transportation to school; these supplies will help our students to stay warm and focus on being the best scholars they can.

There are many personal issues that our students are already battling with, if we are able to relieve them from worrying about being cold on their way to school. Please help us reach our goal.
