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 students are super creative and love to doodle and color. They go through colors like no other class I have ever had! Due to the lack of a budget, I am unable to replenish the coloring supplies we need at the rate they are used up. With your help I would be able to support the crayons, markers, colored pencils, and other basic necessities as they are needed in the classroom along with appropriate storage for all materials.

These colors, crayons, and markers will support all students as they draw their way to third grade!

This would not be possible without you, and I thank you in advance.
