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

Help my students start the new school year with the most basic supplies they need. Many of my students are unable to purchase these on their own and have to start out the year unprepared. Having the right tools in place helps boost motivation and helps build students' excitement for learning. These materials will help set up my students for a successful school year.

When students and teachers are equipped with authentic learning materials, everyone thrives.

These resources make a lasting impact and allow ALL students to start out the year ready.
