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

What I love most about my students is their heart. Even though many of them come to school without the supplies they need at times, they show up every day with so much more—bright personalities, fresh perspectives, and a real excitement to learn. They’re funny, honest, curious, and full of potential. Some have faced challenges most adults would struggle with, but they bring courage and hope into the classroom anyway. They remind me that with just a little support, they can do incredible things. I just want to give them the tools to match the energy and drive they already bring.

No matter what they carry in their backpacks the first days of school, with the items here, my students will always find what they need in our classroom.

That’s why I’m requesting basic materials like bulk notebooks, mechanical pencils, and colored pencils—so every student can start the year prepared and confident. I’m also asking for items to decorate our classroom: bulletin board sets, posters, and borders that will help me create a space that feels bright, welcoming, and full of possibility. I want my students to walk in and feel like this is their space—one where they’re seen, supported, and inspired to grow
