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

As we begin a new school year, it's crucial to create a positive and welcoming classroom environment where all students feel safe, respected, and motivated to learn. Many of my students face significant challenges in accessing basic supplies needed for a successful start of the school year, and this project aims to provide essential classroom supplies such as pencils, paper, scissors, whiteboard markers, whiteboard erasers, and bulletin board paper for a welcoming classroom environment.

With your generous support, we can create a safe and organized learning environment where every child feels prepared and motivated to achieve their best.

Your contribution will directly impact our daily activities, from graphing and calculating to organizing and showing their work in various ways. Let's work together to give these eager young minds the resources they deserve to succeed and make this school year unforgettable!
