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

As we are coming down to the end of the year, most teachers are gearing up for the upcoming academic school year. I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for support. As a kindergarten teacher deeply committed to the education and well-being of our students, I am spearheading an initiative to ensure that every child has access to the essential tools needed to succeed in the classroom.

Unfortunately, many families in our community face financial constraints that make it difficult for them to provide their children with basic school supplies.

As a result, students may struggle to fully engage in their learning experience and may even feel discouraged by their lack of access to necessary materials.

That is why I am reaching out to you today. With your generous contribution, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these students. Your donation will directly support the purchase of essential school supplies (a variety of construction paper, storage bags, glue sticks, dry-erase erasers, sentence strips, cardstock, pens, scissors, tape dispenser, Sharpies, highlighters, pencils, colored pencils, dot markers, crayons, pencil pouches, headphones, plastic pencil boxes, washable markers, and Expo markers), ensuring that every child has the resources they need to thrive academically.

Thank you for considering this important cause. Together, we can make a difference.
