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

I teach an amazing group of 8th-grade students who come to class every day ready to learn, create, and challenge themselves. They are bright, motivated, and full of potential—but we’re missing some of the basic supplies that help make hands-on learning possible.

Our project is focused on providing essential materials like glue, pencils, rulers, markers, and scissors.

These may seem like simple items, but they make a big impact. With these tools, my students can fully participate in projects, stay organized, and bring their ideas to life—whether they’re building, designing, or solving problems.

What I love most about my students is their creativity and curiosity. They thrive when given the chance to explore and express themselves, and your donation helps make that happen. Every pencil, marker, and pair of scissors helps build a stronger, more engaging classroom experience.

Thank you for supporting our 8th graders and helping them learn with confidence and creativity!
