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

My students are the Love Bugs, Transitional Kindergarten (4-5 year old) from a Title I school in San Diego, CA, and we struggle getting all the school supplies we need.

Something as simple as dry erase markers, lap desks, and whiteboards can make a difference to support and engage students in their learning.

Our school budget is short and we have already spent on the supplies we need for this year. The reality is that we need supplies on an ongoing basis.

Our Love Bugs do a lot of work sitting on the carpet, and writing on the whiteboards resting on their laps. It would be very helpful to have also have the dry erase markers they need including lap desks, so they can write with more support and comfort.

I can already see their smiles and excitement in their learning with your donation!

Thank you.
