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

We are a Title I middle school outside of Washington, D.C., with over 1100 students, most of whom receive free and reduced meals.

Please help tomorrow's leaders with essential supplies and enrichment materials to help them thrive academically.

My students start the year without basic school supplies. From composition books to tissues and Chromebook chargers, your donation will help supply those students most in need. Shooting for the stars, I included two subscriptions for current events publications to prepare these budding global citizens.

Thank you for considering donating to fund this project.

Mrs. McElhenny
Grades 6-8
