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

My students and I are in need of some basic supplies to help get the new year started right.

Looking ahead into the new school year comes with a list of needs to start the beginning off right.

Students come into the new year eager to learn and get started right away. These supplies will help us be prepared and ready to learn. It is the little things that set the tone for having a succesful start. From copy paper, organizing containers, to soft tissue for my kiddos, it all helps!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
