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

Our kindergarten classroom is full of eager learners excited to write, draw, and explore! To help them succeed, we need basic pencil case essentials: pencils, crayons, erasers, glue sticks, and scissors. These tools support fine motor development and creativity, and having individual supplies promotes independence. Many of our families face financial challenges, so your support ensures every child has the tools they need to thrive. With your help, we can create a well-equipped, joyful learning environment where students feel confident and ready to learn every day. Thank you for making a lasting impact!
