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

Help my students get access to basic quality school supplies for the 2024-2025 school year! At our school, students often come in need of classroom essentials such as pencils, notebooks, folders, crayons, colored pencils, and markers. Students need these materials to help them stay organized and motivated to learn and to have a successful school year.

Students should not come to school feeling limited by only what they have access to at home.

With these supplies, students in the classroom will be able to more easily access learning across a variety of subjects that are not limited to literacy, math, science, and social studies.
