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

School supplies are an essential part of any classroom and student learning. Thinking ahead as we are about to enter a new school year, I would like to support my students' everyday learning with new and fresh school supplies. Many students begin the school year with no school supplies, and they need markers and a sharpener.

These supplies will help ease the burden on my students' families by helping to provide school supplies for our classroom.

Many families cannot afford school supplies. It can be difficult for students who are not able to come to school with new supplies like their peers. I want all my students to start on an equal footing by providing basic school supplies that everyone needs in my classroom. I believe that providing my students with the necessary school supplies to be successful students is a great way to start their school experience.

This sharpener will support learning and activities in the classroom. Students will have brand-new items to support their creativity. It will mean the world to my students to begin the school year with these awesome school supplies.
