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

Hi friends,

Please I need some HELP as my grade level is changing from 5th grade to Kindergarten and the teacher's room needs materials.

I am planning on using the materials to get the students who are very needy off to a good start. I work at a school that is High Needs in Washington State. My Kindergarten students parents do not have money to help me in the classroom. Our district doesn't give us money to fund these materials. We recently had the budget reduced at our school and teachers are facing lay-offs.

In return, you'll receive my heartfelt thanks!!

Thank you for helping make next year a great year! I don't have anything for Kindergarten and want to make it great. Please consider helping.

Sra. Hernández
