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

A copier in our classroom would be so beneficial for our students. They are exceptional learning students that require a lot of visuals. Having a copier on hand would benefit them greatly. This is a brand new room at Swan Elementary School and we could use just about everything. There are six students this will be their first experience in a classroom for a full day. I would like to make them as comfortable as possible. Having all the necessary materials, equipment cleaning supplies and snacks would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for anything anyone could possibly help us with.

Thank you have a wonderful year!
