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

As we progress through the school year, I am reaching out to ask for your generous support to help provide essential supplies for our classroom, specifically interactive notebooks, glue sticks, copy paper which are learning materials that will empower our students, our future to thrive.

Interactive notebooks have become a cornerstone of my teaching method and allow students to actively engage with the material, organize their thoughts, and track their progress throughout the year.

Unfortunately, maintaining these notebooks can be challenging due to the increasing costs of supplies. That’s where your support can make a world of difference!

I am seeking donations to help provide the necessary supplies for our classroom. These donations will go directly toward purchasing high-quality notebooks, copy paper for things that need to be copied and glued in, and glue. We have gone through countless glue sticks. These materials are needed to keep students’ interactive notebooks organized and up to date. Every contribution, no matter the size, will have a direct and lasting impact on the education and growth of our students.

Any amount will ensure that students have the tools they need to engage with the curriculum and develop critical skills that will set them up for success.

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom. Together, we can make this school year one that is both inspiring and productive for our students.
