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 are reaching that time of the year where we are running out of classroom supplies. We are missing two crucial items: a pencil sharpener and colorful construction paper. These might seem small, but they're essential for my students' growth.

These tools are the foundation for creativity and learning.

Your support will make a huge difference in our classroom experience. My students love using their creativity to demonstrate what they have learned, fostering a deeper understanding of the subjects. With access to a reliable pencil sharpener and colorful construction paper, they'll have the resources to showcase their knowledge in engaging ways, enhancing their learning experiences. A pencil sharpener will also allow us to put more time into learning and less time looking for sharpened pencils.
