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

Is it possible that we don’t have a steady supply of pencils and facial tissues? Yes, it is. My bright, compassionate, hardworking students deserve better.

With your support, my students will have a steady supply of basic classroom essentials that we shouldn’t have to steal from home (but we do!).

These scholars will write and take notes freely without worrying about exhausting the supplies.

Their hungry minds sometimes inspire hungry bellies, and my busy scholars won’t have grumbling stomachs in their next period with the snacks from this order.

They should have wonderings about critical content—not wondering where to find tissues, paper, and pencils.
