Help Bring Spanish to Life for 900 Students

Help me give my students a sturdy bookshelf to help us create an organized classroom library where students can easily access Spanish texts that support vocabulary development. Individual whiteboards will give every student the opportunity to actively participate.

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

Help bring Spanish to life for 900+ students!

I’m a Spanish teacher with the privilege of teaching over 900 amazing students, and I’m on a mission to create a more engaging, organized, and clean classroom environment for them.

To make this happen, I’m seeking support for essential classroom items like bookshelves to organize our growing library, Spanish-language materials to build cultural connection, whiteboards to encourage interactive learning, and cleaning supplies to maintain a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

These resources will help transform my classroom into a place where students can actively practice language skills, explore new cultures, and feel proud of their learning environment. With your support, I can provide meaningful, hands-on experiences that make Spanish come alive every day.
