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

Dear donors, I hope this message finds you well. I am a Pre-K teacher. In our classroom, we believe that young children learn best through play and hands-on experiences. This approach not only fosters creativity but also helps build essential skills such as problem-solving, communication, and teamwork.

As we continue to nurture the growth and development of our preschoolers, we are in need of new materials that will enhance their learning and play experiences.

Specifically, we are looking for alphabet letters and numbers, pretend-play supplies, and other educational toys. These items would greatly support our efforts in providing a rich and engaging learning environment for our students.

If you are able to contribute or know of any resources that may help, we would be deeply grateful. Your generosity would make a meaningful difference in the lives of our young learners.
