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

Help us kick off the next school year prepared and ready to support our amazing math students! Many of our students come from first-generation, low-income, working families who may not have the means to purchase school supplies.

To ensure every student starts the year on equal footing, we're hoping to stock our classroom with essential items like page protectors, pencils, erasable pens, highlighters, and glue sticks.

We're also in need of organizing materials like storage boxes, supply pouches, and back-of-chair storage for whiteboards to keep our space tidy and efficient. Your support will help create a well-stocked, welcoming classroom where all students can feel confident and ready to learn from day one.
