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

Thank you for supporting my project! In my cart, I’ve included essential items that will help create a more engaging, supportive, and effective learning environment for my students. These materials include snacks to keep students focused and energized, basic supplies like pencils, and personal items that provide care outside of the classroom. Every item will directly impact my students’ daily experience and help them feel cared for and ready to learn. Your generosity truly makes a difference!

The goal of this project is to support my students' ability to learn by making sure their basic needs—like hunger—are met.

By providing snacks, I hope to remove one of the many obstacles that can make it hard for students to stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. I want every student to feel comfortable, cared for, and able to participate fully in their education, no matter what they’re going through at home. This project will help build a nurturing, student-centered environment where learning can truly thrive.
