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

Please help us replace some of our pencils that decided to run away. We are a class that love to learn from our mistakes, making our pencils work extra hard. We plan to continue learning and request your support in always having writing instruments available.

We would also like to have some tissues for these allergies and sniffles.

With seasons changing, so do our bodies. We plan to make sure everyone always has access tissues so that we are comfortable in our classroom and focus on our learning.

All donations are greatly appreciated.
