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 education of a child requires a solid parent-teacher partnership to bring about a successful academic career for the child. With that, communication is key.

It truly takes solid communication between a teacher and their parents to ensure that a child will have the opportunity to succeed in school and a simple home to school to home folder can help build and maintain that necessary line of communication.

These Nicky's home-school communication folders are strong, sturdy, and durable and can definitely last entire school year. The children will clearly be able to know what stays home and what returns to school. Parents will know to look out for the folder for important news letters and/or updates about the goings-on of their child at school.

The matte lamination sleeves will help me provide laminated anchor sheets, without the glare, to be able to send home with each child, that will have important lesson components learned in school as flash cards and notes for retrieval practice that will be placed in the home-school Nicky's folders.

Partner with me through funding this projects, making it possible for me to be able to provide these much needed communications folders and laminated anchor sheets for my very deserving students. Thank you!
