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

Our students are eager learners who thrive when they have the right tools to succeed. One of the most basic yet essential supplies in our classroom are pens, used for note-taking, creative writing, problem-solving, and daily assignments. However, keeping an adequate supply of pens is a challenge, as they often run out or go missing throughout the school year.

By providing our classroom with a steady supply of pens, you’ll be ensuring that students can stay focused on their learning without the worry of not having something to write with.

Your generosity will help create a well-equipped, productive learning environment where every student has access to the materials they need to do their best.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping our students succeed!
