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 Students

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."- Nelson Mandela

My students are an amazing group of kids who are eager to learn.

I love their thirst for knowledge, and teaching them brings me so much joy. My hope for my class is to provide them with as many exciting, hands-on, and real world opportunities as possible. They are hard working and interested in learning. They live in an economically disadvantaged community with limited resources. My goal every day is to remind my students that they are loved, cared for, intelligent and very capable!

My Project

At our school we have very limited access to our laminating machine therefore, a classroom laminator would facilitate the preservation of classroom material and student work.

It would save materials such as paper and ink by allowing us to get multiple uses.

The laminator would be used for preserving games, resources, and activities, allowing them to be durable for years! It will also help us extend the life of curriculum posters teachers use in daily lessons.

Please support our project for a laminating machine that will help extend the life of many resources we use on a daily basis for years to come!
