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 Students

Our school emphasizes the respect of self and others. This encompasses discipline and high expectations as well as activism and compassion. The kids know they will be Agents of Change and follow our school motto, "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Ghandi

We are classified as a "highest poverty" school and the kids at our school are brilliant.

They deserve excellent educational resources. Although my kids may lack financial resources, they have an incredible work ethic and desire to learn. We are a full Title I school, a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced lunches.

Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided with enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

My Project

We are asking for pencils to help us write. Erases to make our mistakes better. Notebooks to write down the information we are learning. Pencils boxes to keep our supplies close to use when we rotate in our classroom. Storage bins to help keep us organized. White board markers with erasers to help use show our thinking on our white boards. Glue to help us create masterpieces. Trimmers and boarders to make our class beautiful.

Our class needs these supplies to function as a proper, creative and inviting classroom.

Only generous donors could help us now to improve the kids education and make their learning environment bright and inviting . My students and I thank you in advance for your generosity and your wish to make a difference in my students' world. Your generous gift will be appreciated by every student in the class.
