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

I love my students deeply and believe in each of their unique potential. Every day, I see their curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to learn and it’s my mission to create a classroom where they feel safe, supported, and excited to grow. With basic supplies like crayons, glue, scissors, markers, and poster paper, my students will be able to fully engage in hands-on learning that builds essential academic and social emotional skills. These materials aren’t just tools, they’re opportunities for self-expression, collaboration, and confidence. Your support helps me give them the foundation they need to thrive now and in the future.
