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

The items I am requesting are to help us wipe down and clean surfaces in our room throughout the day to help us stop the spread of germs. These supplies come in handy during cold season when we go through so much to keep everyone safe. The broom will help the students take ownership and help clean up the messes they make.. We will appreciate the kind support and for thinking of us. Thank you for helping us out with basic necessities for a clean and organized classroom each day.
