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

Students thrive in an environment full of life and color. The supplies that are being requested (paper shredder, cardstock, easel pads, etc.) will help fulfill the need in classrooms that would otherwise be basic white paper.

Students will be able to write their feelings out, good or bad, and then shred it feeling safe that they were able to express themselves without judgement from others.

Our students may come from lower income families, but deserve just as much as students that come from higher income families. Education should be equal for all kids of all backgrounds
