Celebrating 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
I believe that the more we create an environment that has basic resources the easier we make it so that students can push themselves. It's overwhelming and frustrating to students when they run into barriers such as a lack of basic resources. It is for this reason that I am seeking support to purchase items like sharpened pencils.
Having these items will ease any frustration and allow students to focus on what matters, learning.
I hope to bring these resources to them and create an environment in which they have what they need.
