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

We kindly request your help in providing school supplies such as pencil boxes, glue, and markers. Your generous contribution will directly impact the lives of our students, enabling them to engage fully in their studies and fostering a positive learning environment.

Whether through donations, in-kind support, or partnerships with local businesses, your assistance will make a significant difference for our students in our school.

We deeply appreciate your consideration and look forward to the possibility of working together to support our student's academic journey. The students will love it.
