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

Imagine a classroom where students not only learn but bond over exciting games and delicious food. This isn’t just about fun it’s about creating a community where curiosity thrives and every student feels connected and motivated. Right now, my classroom is bursting with potential, but we need your help to provide the materials and experiences that foster this vibrant atmosphere. Your donation will help us bring people together, making learning an interactive, joyful experience. Every contribution, big or small, helps us build a strong community where every student’s potential can truly shine
