Help me give my students supplies and organizational materials to start the next semester off prepared!

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

With the start of the new semester, I want to make sure my students have what they need. Pencils and other materials are running low; I want to make sure they have folders to organize their writing materials.

New supplies will allow these students to have a fresh start for the second semester of school and prepare them for their upcoming high school careers!

It is difficult for many of these students to start the year off with school supplies, so it is essential for these supplies to be replenished throughout the year.

The winter weather brings many illnesses, so I to prevent the spread of germs. I want to make sure that they have materials so that they can all be in school healthy and safe.
