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

Most students come to class with nothing: no pencil, no folder, and no notebook. These students should be able to focus on their learning without worrying about having adequate resources.

By donating to this project, you will provide my amazing students with the necessary supplies to increase their academic achievement.

I have selected items that will benefit student learning like crayons and markers, since these student-consumable items break and run out of ink with use. Students will use these items for a variety of assignments and projects.

Thank you so much for considering my project.
