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

I work at a Title I school where all the students qualify for free lunch. With all these new political changes, who knows what schools will be able to provide for students next school year.

I want my students to be equipped with all the necessary school supplies to have a productive new school year.

They will need lots of essentials like pencils, notebooks, crayons, folders, book bags, and headphones, just to name a few. Why shouldn't my students have the same supplies other students have in places that are better off financially?
