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

School supplies plays a crucial role in enhancing a young students learning experience. Crayons and markers are always going missing in our classroom. In order for my students to be successful in the classroom, it's crucial that they have access to the best materials for their assignments and assessments. I would like to support my students' everyday learning with new and fresh school supplies. Many students begin the school year with no school supplies and are in need of markers, crayons, and tissues.

These supplies will help the ease the burden on my students' families by helping to provide school supplies for our classroom.

Lastly, a lamp for our classroom will help create a more inviting environment for my students.
