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

Happy Spring! Only a few more weeks left of school!

After a first successful Donors Choose, I couldn't help but request another list to finish out the school year and provide supplies for the extended school year for students who are in Special Education.

The supplies requested are fun supplies to encourage students and educators to finish out the school year strong and provide supplies throughout the summer that aren't traditionally funded or budgeted by schools. With your help we can finish the school year strong and even provide supplies throughout the summer for students who are in extended school year.

Grades 9-12
