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

Starting a new school year is always exciting—but it also takes a lot of behind-the-scenes effort to make sure everything is ready for my fifth grade students. Your generous donation helps me walk into the classroom prepared and focused, knowing that the essentials are taken care of. When I have what I need, I can give my full energy to what matters most: building strong relationships, creating a joyful classroom environment, and helping my students grow. Your support means the world to me—thank you for being part of our fifth grade journey!

Ms. Whittaker Green Valley Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
