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

My students are preparing for state testing during a very emotional and uncertain year. We are a Title 1, low-income school, and this will be our final year before our campus closes. For many of my students, this school has been a place of comfort, stability, and community.

I want to make this last chapter special and uplifting for them.

Providing snacks during testing may seem small, but it can make a big difference—helping them stay focused, feel cared for, and know they are supported during a stressful time.

Your support will not only help meet a basic need, but also show my students that they are valued and remembered as they finish their time here. Thank you for helping me give them a year to remember.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
