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 1st grade class is on a mission to develop a love for reading, and we need your help! We will use engaging books and multi-sensory experiences, including paper, sand, and other tools, to make learning fun and interactive. For many of our students, the classroom is their only exposure to books, as they are not read to at home and do not have access to books. Your generous donation will provide the resources necessary to foster a lifelong passion for reading and help these children develop essential literacy skills. Thank you for supporting our students’ educational journey!

Ms. Stone Advance U Elementary Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
