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

My students have a passion for learning; students are very enthusiastic and creative by nature, always looking for new ways to innovate and improve. Proof of this is in the artistic projects that our students have created during this school year.

Our students represent a range of ethnicities, cultures, and belief systems which enrich our classroom culture and learning environment.

Almost all students at my school receive free or reduced-price lunches due to their families’ household incomes being very low, but they are still hungry for knowledge. Students are ready to learn new things, but they have not yet explored their favorite books due to not having a library in the Spanish classroom. My students ask for funny stories in Spanish to discover what the world has to offer them.

My Project

By donating to this project, you will not only help to improve and increase students’ learning and success, but also you will help to increase our students’ academic journey with well-systematized spaces for every single student in the classroom established with these heavy-duty unit drawer organizers.

It is practical to keep students’ work organized with individual spaces for every single student in our Spanish classes.

Having a heavy-duty unit drawer organizer that is the right size to hold students’ work, students’ WL art projects, printed materials, students’ assignments from school-to-home, parent communications, and more. This is the beginning path for success.
