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

The goals and objectives for this project is to teach our students Basic Financial Literacy Skills and Understandings to succeed in Life. The student population at our school is from a low-income and economically disadvantage community. For this project, we are requesting lined paper, white board, markers, pencils and snacks. College-ruled lined papers and whiteboards are not provided, due to budget restraint. Also, we are requesting some snacks for students who need healthy treats at the end of the day. The school and the class will be very thankful for your donations.
