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

The students in my class are very special students in a very special community. Our community is the last one in our whole district and it is very poor community. My students are the best students, I only wish I could supply essentials all year long, so these class set of Califone Over-Ear Stereo microphones and the math & reading manipulatives will help not only me but them during their testing/center time. By donating to our project, you will help to improve and increase student attention and focus. It will also help to increase their academic achievement. We will appreciate all the help given. Thank You!
