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 us sprinkle some magic into our new classroom!

We’re a Title I school, where over three-quarters of our students come from low-income homes.

Our classroom is coming together, but we could use a little help with a few odds and ends to make it a truly special place for our students. We’ve got big plans to create a space that’s cozy, welcoming, and full of positive vibes, and that’s where you come in!

Here’s what we’re hoping to gather:

Disposable cups for our water dispenser, so everyone stays hydrated and ready to learn.

Bowls for oatmeal, because some of our kids miss breakfast, and we want to make sure they start their day off right.

A diffuser to keep our room smelling fresh and inviting, creating a calm and focused environment.

Games to play during breaks, because every student deserves a little fun and relaxation!

Tissues for those tougher days when emotions run high, offering comfort when it’s needed most.

Laminate sheets to save and protect our classroom projects, turning our students’ hard work into lasting memories.

Every little bit helps us create a classroom where our students can thrive, learn, and feel right at home. Thank you for being a part of this exciting journey!
