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

Please help us by donating some school supplies for my incoming sixth graders. I want to make sure that they have all the resources they need to succeed. By donating to my classroom you are supporting a student by ensuring that they have pencils, notebooks, and name tags on their first day of class. This will ensure that students don't have to worry about buying their own supplies. Often times students choose not to do assignments because they don't have the basic supplies like pencils and are too shy or embarrassed to ask for help.

Ms. Leyva
Grades 6-8
