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

Now that the second semester has begun, our busy Bees are requesting homework. During the first semester, Iwe utilized folders, but alas, many of them are missing and are coming apart. Along with learning how to transport belongings from school to home and vice versa, our pupils are also learning responsibility.

Due to the erratic weather and lack of backpacks, their schoolwork and homework are being damaged.

These days, they take such delight in their work that it pains me to see it destroyed.

These translucent Lakeshore backpacks are the ideal size for our little ones because our classroom doesn't have a lot of storage space. Please support us in getting our kids these much-needed backpacks so they may carry their assignments to class and take thier classwork and parents letters home.
