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

Our DonorsChoose project aims to provide essential classroom supplies and engaging activities to kickstart the new school year. We're seeking support for a variety of items, including photo storage boxes, dry erase markers, glue sticks, and pre-sharpened pencils to ensure our students have the tools they need for success. Additionally, we're incorporating fun games like Connect 4 and Guess Who? to foster social skills and teamwork. With your help, we can create a vibrant and well-equipped learning environment that inspires and supports every student.
