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

We are in desperate need of cleaning supplies for our classroom to help keep my students healthy and safe in their learning environment. Having all of these cleaning supplies in our classroom will help keep the germs away! I really need these cleaning supplies to help keep our classroom as clean and healthy as possible.

The cleaning supplies are not given to teachers, we have to purchase these cleaning supplies out of our pockets.

Students should not be afraid to make a mess while learning, but they also should have supplies ready to help clean up afterwards.

These classroom cleaning supplies will help my students stay healthy and focused on learning every day. I really want to keep my students safe from getting sick and I know that having these cleaning supplies in our classroom.

Thank you so much for your support! It is greatly appreciated!
