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

All of my students come from homes where English is a second language. Despite the challenges of coming from immigrant homes, my students put forth maximum effort and embrace challenges to become super-star students.

A germ-free classroom keeps students healthy, and healthy students are able to attend school to interact with peers, learn, and grow.

I always tell my students that every day in school is one day closer to college! My students love coming to school, but if they are ill, they are unable to attend. An air purifier, disinfectant wipes, and Kleenex tissues will keep germs away and help my second-grade students to stay healthy.

I am kindly asking you to consider donating to my super-star second grade class to send those germs away and keep my students in school. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
