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

Dear Donors,

My name is Ms. Castillo, and I am a 1st Year teacher.

I am seeking your support for my science class, which currently lacks a proper lab setup. My students use computer lab tables as their lab tables that are normally bar stool high to be able to work around on. These comfortable stools will enhance students' experience around our makeshift lab tables. Additionally, personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for their safety during chemistry labs. Lastly, whiteboard erasers and markers are vital tools we use daily for assessing student understanding. Your contributions will make a significant impact on our learning environment.

Thank you!

Ms. Castillo Chavez High School Grades 9-12
