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 the teacher of an amazing group of 2nd graders! Even though many students come from low-income families, they are extremely giving and caring towards their classmates and teacher. Christmas is coming soon and I can't wait to give back to students through the joy and giving!

Help me purchase fidget toys and water bottles for my students' Winter White Elephant Game.

We plan on playing White Elephant before winter break and I'm guessing that it will be the first time for many of them! I am excited to give my students a small gift of appreciation. Also, I know that many of my students, especially those that are neurodivergent, will benefit from receiving brand new fidget toys!

Please support my project so that I can celebrate my students!
