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

I love how resilient, curious, and supportive my students are—they come to school each day ready to learn and encourage one another to do their best. They take pride in our classroom and work hard to create a positive space for everyone. Having access to cleaning supplies will help them maintain a clean, organized environment by keeping their desks, shared materials, and learning areas clean and organized. These resources not only promote health and safety but also teach responsibility and teamwork, allowing students to take ownership of their classroom and stay focused on learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
