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

Our school is called SE and we are located in Pennsylvania. Our students come from low income households and many are migrant students from Mexico and South America. Our students receive free breakfast and lunch. However, our students love school and love learning!

We run out of pencils frequently.

Our class sharpener broke, so a new one will be great. The students are always sharpening their pencils. In addition, our class needs coloring supplies and scissors for class.

We work hard in school and having these supplies will help make the students successful in school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
