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

When students come to school with the correct school supplies it boosts student confidence and make the lesson easier to learn. Our student demographics are 100% poverty and they will benefit from donations to have them get ready for school. All donations are greatly appreciated to make their academic journey a success.

My goal is to have my students prepared with the correct materials for school.

This helps the student learn and be an active participant . When we help students have the correct supplies , we are ensuring that they can have an equal opportunity for them to succeed. Every donation will make a huge difference in our class.
