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

The start of a new school year is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming, hectic, and expensive. My goal is to give my 4th-grade students a strong, confident start by providing them with the essential supplies they need from day one.

With your support, we’re requesting composition notebooks, dry-erase pocket sleeves, pencils, glue, folders, tissues, cleaning supplies, and more.

These materials will help create a clean, organized, and well-prepared classroom environment that supports both academic success and emotional well-being.

Having their own supplies not only reduces stress, but also boosts students’ self-esteem. When children come to school knowing they have what they need, they feel confident, capable, and ready to engage in learning. Your generosity helps foster a positive mindset and a sense of pride in their work.

Thank you for considering our project and helping us start the school year strong—emotionally, socially, and academically
