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 end of the school year, I’m reaching out for help in providing my amazing third-grade students with the basic supplies they need to finish strong. We are in need of essential classroom items like cleaning wipes, paper towels, and tissues to keep our learning space clean, healthy, and safe. These supplies help us maintain a welcoming environment where students can focus on learning rather than worrying about germs or messes.

In addition, we would love to have a few snacks and general supplies—like pencils, erasers, and glue sticks—to support both academic focus and energy during the day.

Many of our students benefit from a little extra nourishment, and having a snack during work time can make a huge difference in their concentration and motivation. With your support, we can close out the year with care, comfort, and celebration. Thank you for helping us thrive all the way to the finish line!
