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

We believe success starts with strong habits—and it begins now. We're asking for your support to provide each student with a daily homework folder designed to build essential skills they will carry into middle school, high school, college, and beyond.

These folders are more than just a place to hold papers—they are a tool for developing responsibility, organization, and clear communication.

Students will use their folders to keep track of assignments, bring home important notices, and organize their work each day.

These simple materials will support lifelong learning skills and prepare students to manage tasks, meet deadlines, and communicate effectively—skills essential for college, careers, and life.

Thank you for helping us build strong foundations that go far beyond the classroom!
