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 cleaning supplies will help keep germs and viruses from spreading. Classroom supplies will help organize students desks and centers.

The population of the school is comprised of students who are financially challenged and asking for assistance from donors will help obtain much needed supplies.

The science kits will expand the traditional curriculum of just reading about the science to discovering the science.

The classroom is designed for students to participate together, but germs are also present cleaning supplies will assist with keeping students safe from any potential microscopic particles.

Ms. Reiss Lipscomb Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
