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

Working at a title 1 school, there are many times that I witness what the lack of resources and it's impact on the students that it is meant to serve. With this project, you will be elevating a classroom for a diverse, economically disadvantaged population. These products will help students with things like coping strategies, academic achievement rewards, visual aids, personal hygiene, and organization.

Each child deserves the opportunity to succeed.

Please help my students succeed personally, academically, mentally, and emotionally in a classroom that is safe, encouraging, and organized. Help me in giving them the tools necessary to succeed.
