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

My top priority is helping my students become well-rounded individuals. They need to learn critical academic skills, including reading and writing, but they must also be organized.

With your donations, my students transform into organized scholars ready to tackle the world.

To be successful individuals, learning how to be organized is essential. It's also necessary to have chores to help us maintain a clean space to learn and grow. My students can help maintain a clean classroom with the Bissell sweeper and Shifter mop. The classroom mailbox will help them store items that need to go home, but it can also hold students' work to show parents during conference week.

Your donation is greatly appreciated. I appreciate any help you can provide.
