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 begin a New Year, I am looking forward for your support in giving my students a wonderful cozy Sofa Bean Bag Chair to do what they LOVE ... quiet reading time in the classroom library! The Surf Portable Lap Desk, Flexible Seating, will be ideal for a small group of students who need additional support or just a seat where s/he can focus better.

In addition to having a comfortable place to work at, the additional items requested will help them stay better organized: Electric Pencil Sharpener and Pencil Shaped Pen Holder.
