Celebrating 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

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity, and the way their eyes light up when they learn something new. They're dreamers, doers, and future leaders, and they deserve the tools to thrive.

Every seat sack is a place for keeping all the magic together.

Every pencil writes the next great story.

Every glue stick and crayon sparks creativity.

And every folder helps keep their world a little more organized.

With your help, these simple supplies become stepping stones to confidence, success, and a love for learning. Thank you for believing in them as much as I do!
