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

As we prepare to begin a new school year in our inner-city classroom, we’re reaching out for support to ensure every student starts off with the tools they need to succeed. Many of our children come to school without basic supplies.

Crayons, markers, and other essential classroom materials are needed.

These items may seem small, but they make a big difference in helping students feel confident, creative, and ready to learn. Any donation, no matter the size, will go a long way in supporting our students and creating a positive learning environment from day one. Thank you!
