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

I teach at a wonderful school in Chicago. My kindergarten students are so special to me because they always come into school every morning with big smiles on their faces and are ready to learn new things, despite the hardships and challenges that they may face at home.

My Project

I am seeking your help so that I can achieve my goal of getting my Masters of Science - Teaching and Learning from the University of St. Francis.

Unfortunately, my school does not provide tuition reimbursement for teachers pursuing another degree but I am wanting to continue my education so that I can be an even better teacher for my students!

I would greatly appreciate your consideration to donate towards this goal that is very important to me and the kids of our future, thank you!
