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

My new classroom is in desperate need of revamping. There are actually desks in there that my mother may have sat at when she was in school there, and she just turned 88!!! You know those desks look very old. The screws are all rusted out, The school has so very much heart, but very little monies allocated for materials.

I am definitely not the only one there struggling, but, I am trying to make a difference.

Your donation would be very much appreciated. The students will look for an easy way out. We just need to bring a towel to get on track!

Thank you!
