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

Having a working classroom electric pencil sharpener is very important in our classroom. Our old pencil sharpener chews up every pencil. We are in needs of motivational awards to recognize our weekly Scholar of the Week along with Star Student pencils as incentives for doing excellent work. Throughout the year we change name plates and need tape for securing them in place along with using tape for other things in the classroom. We are also in need of lanyards and ID badges for field trips, music class for teacher to know our names, and other uses. We could really use your support in helping us make this project a reality for our classroom. Thank you for your support.
