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

My students need these supplies to use during our intervention pull out groups. It is more than halfway through the school year and our supplies are running low! My students need new cleaning supplies, tissues, and paper towels to help keep us all healthy! We need new prizes for our reading incentive prize box! Students are so excited when they earn prizes for reading books at home. My students' markers have all started to run dry from all of our hard work! Please help us replenish these supplies so we can continue to grow and learn.

I strongly believe all children deserve the proper tools needed in school to help them strive to be their best!
