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

These materials will make a difference in our students' learning simply because they are tools that are used on a daily basis. By providing such basic supplies our students will be able to focus on their academics instead of being concerned about not coming prepared to school.

Our students deserve a fair education and basic things such as pencils, colors, glue sticks, and scissors will help with their learning.

These school supplies are used when we do our interactive notebooks for Math and Language Arts. Please help our hard-working students by giving them the tools they need in order to perform to their maximum potential.
