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

Starting off the school year with the necessary supplies and materials helps to make the school year a success. These school supplies will help ease the burden after such a challenging school year by helping to provide school supplies for the classroom. The supplies in this project will provide my students will the materials that are necessary for the day-to-day activities and work that will take place in our classroom. I am requesting items that are truly "the basics". I am requesting school supplies to help start the school year.
