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

Pencils play a crucial role in enhancing the learning experience for our special students. By providing these essential tools, we aim to foster creativity, boost engagement, and facilitate effective note-taking. Pencils allow for students to not always use chrome books in the classroom and allow for an inclusive environment.

Our goal is to secure classroom materials that cater to the unique needs of our students, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for their exceptional learning journey.

Your support in supplying pencils will directly contribute to the success and growth of these special students, ensuring they have the resources necessary for a fulfilling education.
