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

Our students have been working hard on their learning this year. Their hard work has also been hard on their materials. It is time to resupply as we move into the spring. Your donation will help us have what we need for the next six months.

My students are actively learning and are also actively using their school supplies.

My students need some new materials including books, school supplies, and garden materials to get ready for the second half of the year. A fresh delivery of materials will help them have a productive and fun spring. Your donation helps me to get new books in students' hands, materials for alternative education including flexible seating options and tools for our garden, as well as access to the wealth of resources on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Thank you for helping us start fresh this Spring!
