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 Students

My students are incredibly bright and hardworking with great personalities.

They are funny, witty and have a joy of learning.

They are always so eager to learn and light up when they "GET IT" that I just want to provide them with every possible incentive to keep that spark going.

My Project

These back to school materials will give my students a new and exciting start to the upcoming school year whether we are in class or remote learning.

This upcoming school year will be a challenging one for everyone especially the students and their parents.

I am hoping that by providing my students with a few of the basic school supplies they will need, it will elevate some of the financial stress their parents are facing now.

My students should not be worrying about how or if they will get new school supplies.

These resources will give us a fresh new beginning and help us start the school year with a few less worries.
