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

We will soon be starting our second semester and most or our Fall binders are tattered and or falling apart. These binders would be so wonderful to use for this upcoming second semester.

These binders help students keep their homework, study materials and class notes organized and all together in one folder.

It's always exciting to begin a new semester with new materials and tools needed to continue our learning. Thank you for considering this project for one of your donations. We sincerely appreciate everything you do to support education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
