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

Summertime her. School is almost out, but before long, parents will have to once again get ready to buy school supplies for their children. My students this year have worked hard all year and are now ready to become second graders! When the new school year begins I want all of my new students to once again start off with all of the right school supplies just like my former students.

Pencils, erasers, crayons, pouches, scissors, glue sticks and pencil pouches will make that happen once again!

Students will be ready on the first day of school and parents will not have to worry about whether or not they can pay for them when the summer is over.

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