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

The specific items I am requesting are all essential tools that my classroom is constantly without. My classroom goes through hundreds of pencils, pens, and folders a year and often I have to purchase huge sums to make sure my students are properly supplied.

Without these implements, my students will spend valuable classroom time foraging for the resources necessary for proper focus.

My goal is for my students to have a much easier and streamlined learning experience, with these implements they can tackle every assignment without any down time, they can utilize all classroom time for learning. My students are wonderful learners, they can easily take on challenges if they only have the materials necessary to succeed.

Thank you so much,

Christopher Keough

Mr. Keough Springfield Central High School Grades 9-12
