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

I am working on this project to acquire the classroom basics needed for the 2022-2023 school year.

I want to ensure that all of my students start the year strong with the supplies we need to succeed.

This project will be getting essential classroom materials like pencils, highlighters, eraser caps for pencils, and binder clips.

I want to make sure that students do not have to worry about having materials and only need to focus on their school work and assignments. Thank you in advance for your support to our school!!
