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

A new school year brings new beginnings, and with your help, it can also bring the tools my students need to succeed. I work with a diverse group of learners who are eager to grow, explore, and thrive—but they can’t do it without basic classroom supplies.

These materials may seem simple, from pencils to highlighters, dry-erase markers, and organizational tools, but they make a big impact.

Access to fresh supplies helps students stay engaged and prepared, building confidence and a sense of ownership in their learning.

Your support will ensure that every child starts the year equipped and ready, without the stress of missing essentials. Together, we can create a classroom where every student feels valued and empowered to do their best work.
