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 school supplies will help my students start the school year ready to learn. My students are curious and eager to learn everyday. Sometimes they don't have basic school supplies that affect the flow of their learning. I don't want my students to worry about pencils and paper.

I'm requesting, pencils, notebooks, rulers, erasers, color pencils, markers and other basic school supplies that will help my students start the school year ready.

Having supplies also means that it is one less thing that they have to worry about.

Thank you for considering our project.
