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

As the 2022-2023 academic school year begins, I would appreciate your support in providing my students with the basic tools/resources needed to make them successful in the classroom and fulfill their everyday needs. When students enter the classroom, I want them to feel like they are entering a nurturing environment that feels comfortable, clean and safe. In order to do that I would love your support in providing writing tools, such as pencils, writing paper, cleaning supplies and snacks for students to keep them going throughout the day! My future students and I would appreciate any support that can be offered to ensure a successful year. Minimizing the stress of having these daily resources readily available for use, will provide my students with ease and lend itself to instructional time in the classroom.
