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

Hello to all! I am a first year third-grade bilingual teacher who is asking for this project to be funded in order to provide my students with some warm winter essentials.

Help me keep my students warm during this cold Chicago winter with matching classroom shirts, pullover sweaters, warm socks, hats, and scarves!

This school year, we have welcomed many newcomer students and families, many of which are experiencing their very first winter in the U.S. With this project, you will help me ensure that each of my students will have their warm winter essentials to come to and from school each day! :)
