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

Pencils, markers, and toner, oh my! These are the basic materials that my students need and run out of the most! This project will supply my classroom with the additional pencils, markers, and toner for our classroom printer: the materials they need to complete classroom projects and more!

My students never have enough pencils!

They also need more permanent markers to complete art projects and toner for our printer so they can print their research reports and more! All of these materials are essential and very much needed as we start the second quarter of the school year.

Mrs. Gaiter Plainview Academic Charter Academy Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
