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

My 8th grade students are creative, thoughtful, and always eager to express their ideas—on paper! Whether they’re drafting science essays, recording observed data, designing posters, updating their interactive notebooks, or brainstorming in groups, paper is at the heart of our learning process.

We constantly need copy paper to continue our learning activitiies.

We go through supplies quickly, and keeping our classroom stocked with essentials like copy paper, construction paper, and chart paper is a constant challenge. These materials may seem basic, but they play a big role in helping students organize their thoughts, stay engaged, and bring their learning to life in hands-on, meaningful ways.

Your support will keep the ideas flowing—literally! With enough paper to meet our daily needs, my students can focus on learning, collaborating, and creating without limits.
