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

We are so excited to welcome our first group of 5th grade students as first-year teachers at a Title I charter school. Our students are bright, curious, and full of potential. Many of them face daily challenges outside of school, but they come to class eager to learn and grow. We want to create a safe, welcoming, and well-equipped environment where every student feels valued and prepared. The resources we’re requesting—basic school supplies like notebooks, pencils, and headphones—will help them stay organized, engaged, and confident as they tackle a year of learning and discovery.
