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 excited to start the school year and ready to learn. While we've gathered many of the materials they will need, we are still missing some essential supplies to support their success in the classroom fully. Our students are hardworking, curious, and full of potential; they just need the right tools to help them thrive.

We're asking for help to provide the remaining classroom supplies, such as sensory items, construction paper, and organizers.

These materials will allow each and every student to fully participate, stay organized, and focus on learning without worries!
