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

These supplies will truly make a difference for my students. The markers will support all of their creative projects throughout the year, and the self-care items and snacks will help meet their basic needs, especially during long days when a little comfort goes a long way. My amazing SLA students are all dual language learners, and they will be so excited to receive these supplies we go through them quickly because they’re always working hard and putting in their best effort. Thank you for supporting their success and well being.
