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

After successfully securing funding for basic learning materials on my previous project, I've realized that my students at MD Fox could benefit from even more resources to truly thrive. They're a bunch of resilient and curious minds, always eager to learn and explore. That's why I'm reaching out again, this time seeking donations for extra classroom goodies that can take their learning to the next level.

From simple things like sharpeners to nifty gadgets like laminators, these items play a big role in making learning fun and engaging for our kids.

Whether it's doodling in notebooks, highlighting important stuff, or getting crafty with scissors and small toys during breaks, each item sparks creativity and keeps them excited about learning.

What makes my students stand out isn't just their grades, but their determination to push through challenges. Many come from tough backgrounds where access to good education is a luxury. But they don't let that stop them. With your help in providing these extra resources, we can give them more tools to succeed and show them that nothing can hold them back. Let's keep fueling their curiosity and paving the way for a future where every child has the chance to shine.
