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

As a teacher, I constantly strive to engage and inspire my students. However, working in a low-income community where supplies are scarce, I often purchase most of what we need in the classroom. This has included math and phonics manipulatives to support their learning. These essential supplies are necessary for our daily activities and also affect the learning environment for my students. However, purchasing enough supplies for an entire class of 40 students is a significant burden. Your generous donations will help fund these much-needed items. Your support, no matter how small, would make a world of difference to us.
