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

Please help me fund this project to supply my classroom with the basic products we need to upkeep our health and personal hygiene. We are currently running critically low on such items as Kleenex tissues, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes and towels, as well as hand soap.

The items I am requesting are necessary to help keep my students healthy and strong.

We have had a rough winter of sniffles, colds, and more, and many of the stockpiles of self-care items we had to start the year have dwindled significantly as a result. Please help us stop the spread of germs with the items we need to stay healthy.

Thank you!

Ms. Ramos Dawes Elementary School Grades 3-5
