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 Students

Dream Big and Work hard is our school motto, and our students certainly do that all day!

We are a Title One School in Arizona, which means that 90% or more of our students come from low income families.

But that doesn't deter our students who are always eager to work hard and dream big to achieve their goals. Achieving their goals are high on their list and to make it a little bit fun...

My Project

We are requesting supplies that will allow them to get creative with their projects. That's where the scissors will come in handy, they will be able to cut our their projects and stay on task at the same time, the glue will be used to glue the materials they cut for their projects, and the markers will make the project colorful for all to behold.

Your donation of supplies like scissors, glue, and markers, will make it easier for students to become the creative person that they are.

They can let their productivity shine and enhance their finished product.
