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

Due to a budget crisis my medical courses may not be able to get needed consumable supplies. These items will help replenish the items that we used this past year and insure that we start off the school year with foundational items. In addition, the TpT gift card helps with supplemental material not provided with the curriculum. Without the supplies requested, we will be unable to complete the labs required in our curriculum.

The tools used in these classes are real world tools in labs and medical offices.

Students are able to practice and become familiar with these tools to help prepare for post secondary education or a job in the workforce. With your support, students will be able to engage in high level labs using real world supplies.
