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

Of course we use supplies until they’re unusable. All older supplies are used as back ups and extras as the year goes on. Unfortunately, by the time a new school year begins, most supplies are depleted.

Every child deserves to start the year with fresh and new supplies!

Sharpened pencils with fresh erasers, magnetic letters, clipboards, brand new crayons, and dry erase markers with inky tips are just some of the supplies needed when a new class arrives in the Fall! And with a class set of alphabet trays, learning will be so hands on!
