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 Students

We are a Pre-kindergarten program located in the South Bronx, within one of its poorest community districts. Our program works with mostly temporary housing and low-income families, so homelessness is a real concern to us all. The Pre-K program is an essential component of our community. It provides young children the opportunity to gain a solid foundation for which all other academic and social development will occur.

My Pre-Kindergarten team is constantly seeking activities that focus on getting the children to use their imagination to explore and allow open-ended questions to fuel their quest for knowledge.

As their teachers, it is our job to support our students in a way that their education is not being hindered by just what we know, but is being fostered by activities and experiences that are fueled by their own need to understand .

This year we want to be able to bring them some Joy & Happiness!

My Project

Bringing "Joy To the World" of our preschoolers rings a resounding bell around the planet! Many often times, our families struggle to make ends meet and we know that they are doing their very best!... and though they may not know what tomorrow may bring, they still work hard each & everyday and that makes us proud to be their biggest supporters.

Can you imagine something as simple as a toy can really make an extraordinary difference to a child and your donations will go towards supporting our students in understanding that there are so many people who are willing to give, one classroom at a time!

We are asking you to open up your hearts and support our little ones this Christmas. They deserve your charity during this Holiday Season! You are our Beacon of Light!

Wishing You & Your Families a Happy Holiday Season!
