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

Hello my name is Michael and I would love and appreciate if you are able to donate for my students this year 26 - 27. I would love to host a back to school night at my school for my students and this dream will come true with your help. Me and my students would really appreciate all the donations and gifts. A lot of my students are low income students who might not be able to afford the basic school supplies and a new water bottle. And this is not just for the students it's also for the staff.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
