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

Supporting students in staying organized is crucial for their academic success. Dry erase pocket folders offer a practical solution by allowing students to easily store reminders, and important information directly on the folders, facilitating organization and enhancing responsibility to complete work, even if it was unfinished.

Additionally, sentence strips serve as invaluable tools for reinforcing language skills and aiding in comprehension.

By providing visual aids and interactive learning materials like sentence strips, students can engage more deeply with educational content, improving their understanding and retention.

With your generous donation, we can empower students to excel in their studies and reach their full potential.
