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

Thank you for considering donating to this project. The goal of this project is to get some of the basic paper supplies that my students will need in order to complete assignments, projects, and display their learning for all to see.

Even in a digital world, students still need paper in school.

I want them to be able to make posters that can be displayed in the classroom. Also, students should be able to print out work that they have created or research for a project that they are working on completing.
