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

Starting a new school year with fresh supplies makes a huge difference in my students’ confidence, focus, and excitement for learning. With new notebooks, headphones, pencils, markers, and organizational tools, students will be able to fully participate in lessons without worrying about not having what they need. Having access to quality supplies helps create an environment where learning feels empowering and fun, and it encourages students to take pride in their work from day one.

My goal with this project is to set up a classroom where every student feels prepared, supported, and ready to succeed.

My students are truly special because they come to school every day full of curiosity, creativity, and determination. By providing them with the right tools, we can remove barriers to learning and allow them to fully focus on reaching their amazing potential. Your support will help us start the year strong and make it our best one yet!
