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 the new school year approaches, many of my students are excited and ready to learn—but not all have the opportunity to bring their own school supplies.

I want to ensure every child starts the year prepared and confident by providing essential writing tools like pencils, pens, highlighters, and erasers to those who need them.

With your help, we can give students the tools and support they need to come to school ready to learn.

These basic supplies will help create equal opportunities for all students to fully engage, focus on their tasks, and take pride in their progress.
