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

Starting the year off with the right supplies is so important to our students. Each year we need to make sure that we have enough supplies when we greet our students.

Imagine not only starting the school, but coming to a new country not having enough money for supplies, that is the case for many of our students.

We like to make sure that we give them everything that they need to be successful. Providing them with the basic school supplies like paper, pencils, glue, rulers, etc gives them the opportunity to focus on things like reading and writing.
