Celebrating 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
I am requesting a color laser printer and accessories to provide a more enriched learning environment for students. With access to a color printer, I will be able to provide students with color coded graphic organizers and diagrams. I will also be able to improve the involvement of our students in the district and state science fair as a laser printer is necessary in order to display my student's hard work and research.
In our school, teachers and students do not have access to color printing in the classroom, which puts a strain on our ability to provide visual aids and tools which is necessary for multilingual learners, students with learning difficulties, and helpful for all students to learn science!
Your donations will help me improve the quality of student projects which will also help raise confidence in their academics and pride in their work.
