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

Hello! I am a new teacher starting from scratch who was just hired as a 2nd grade general education classroom teacher. I am passionate about providing my students with the best educational experience possible. It has become increasingly challenging to acquire the necessary classroom supplies without your help. With your support, I aim to bridge this gap and create an engaging and well-equipped learning environment for my students.

The funds raised through this grant will be used to purchase a variety of essential classroom supplies.

These supplies play a vital role in fostering a positive and inclusive educational atmosphere where all students can thrive. By ensuring the availability of these materials, we can enhance the quality of education and create a nurturing space for learning. In preparation for the upcoming school year, I wanted to get a head start on getting my future students the necessary classroom supplies needed for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year.
