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

We're seeking donors to provide each teacher with a fresh pack of Expo markers at the school year's start. These essential tools run out fast and are surprisingly expensive, often forcing teachers to pay out-of-pocket. Vibrant, visible lessons engage students, sparking creativity and participation. Clear communication improves comprehension, leading to better grades. Teachers love receiving new supplies, and we can surprise them with these much-needed markers! Your contribution relieves financial strain and ensures educators have the tools to create dynamic learning experiences. Invest in "Marker Magic" and directly support student success and teacher well-being!
