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

Being a middle school student, one's life is all held together in one's backpack, or so that is the hope, but what if one does not have the funds to be able and obtain a backpack? There is nothing more touched by a student throughout the day than the items they carry on a daily basis from home to school, class to class such as books, homework, pencils, notebooks, etc. My project will allow me to provide such basic supplies to those students in need of such materials that will allow them to work on their organizational skills and responsibility at hand.
