Celebrating 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
Starting a new school year with the right supplies sets the tone for success. This project will help provide my students with engaging materials like fun pencils and stickers to motivate them, indoor recess games to encourage social play and teamwork, and essential classroom supplies like glue sticks that we use daily. It also includes much-needed items for me as their teacher to stay organized and prepared. These resources will help build a positive, welcoming environment where students feel excited to learn and supported every step of the way. Your generosity truly makes a difference!
