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

Basic classroom materials are critical to my students' success. There is absolutely no child who should go through a year of school without the essential tools needed to learn and succeed.

I need your help in providing the items necessary for my students to succeed.

I need storage boxes to help students keep classroom materials organized. Scissors and staplers don't last long in our middle school classroom, they are constantly breaking. Rubber bands and glue sticks are essential for our classroom projects. Better Than Paper si great when displaying instructional materials and assignments through out the classroom. A power strip cord is always needed when students need to power their computers.
