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

I am asking for a color printer, laminating machine, and tennis balls for chairs. A color printer will allow me to print copies in color and show details in pictures that sometimes get lost in black and white copies. A laminating machine will allow me to laminate special work and preserve it for a long time. Lastly, I'm asking for tennis balls for chair to help reduce the noise that chair can make when moved.

I hope these three: color printer, laminating machine, and tennis balls make a significant difference in my students' learning experience in my class.

I must share with you that my students are as grateful as I am for your generosity and continuous support to us!
