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 that my students are willing to come to school and learn everyday! However, some of them need some basic school supplies that they cannot get at home, which I like to provide when I can. No student should feel ashamed or worried about not having school supplies, so I like to provide what I can so they feel motivated to come to school and participate!

With these supplies, I will be able to provide the basic necessities my students use on a daily basis such as pencils, pens, highlighters, folders, and paper.

Additionally, I will be able to give students some tools, such as fidget spinners and stress balls, to help regulate their emotions or to stay focused on their classwork.

My goal is to take away the extra burden of paying or bringing school supplies, that way students can focus on learning. I want to equip them with the basics they need so they sole priority can be their education. Please consider donating to help them get back to the basics of school and learning!
