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 would love to have a laminating machine so that we may preserve and keep our classroom projects. We have found that our artwork and writing pieces are fading over the course of time. Also, our classroom gets dusty and so does our work when we hang it up.

My little ones are high energy and make every day a special day for me as their teacher!

No day is the same in our classroom! They are eager to learn and inspire me with their enthusiasm. My students' come come from low-income homes. Our school is full of loving and supportive teachers and staff who want the best for our students.

My Project

The laminating supplies will benefit my students' by allowing them to preserve their work. We do a lot of writing and art projects that look beautiful and by laminating them they can stay that way. I make a memory book for all 32 little ones every year and I feel it would be a nice touch if the parents could receive something that would be protected and last over time. I would love to use it to preserve their little hand prints and art projects, as well as writing assignments. Also, I would like to use the laminating machine to help protect school supplies, such as vocabulary cards, posters, and lunch cards that we use everyday.

We would be so excited and forever grateful if you fund our classroom project!

I believe that these supplies will be a great gift to my students' and their wonderful families. This donation will make a difference in our classroom by helping us to preserve student work and classroom supplies. We would be very grateful if you would support our project!
