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

Your support would mean the world for my Kindergartners. This year we are adding 8 more students in my class, going from 16 to 24! This means that our classroom is in need of supply to support all students! With your support, I will be able to ensure all 24 students have a seat sacks and organizational cubbies for them.

In addition to this, students will also have access to flexible seating as a prize for all of their hard work.

The blow up seats will provide an incentive and encouragement for students to keep doing their best work.

I am confident that every student will be successful this year with your support. Thank you for all of your support.
