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 Students

The students at my school are a wonderful group of children that are caring, creative, and curious.

Seventy percent of my students are English Language learners.

My students live in a very tough and challenging area of East San Jose, California. In spite of this my students are resilient, their families are trying their best, and we are a community impassioned to do all we can for them. Creating a safe and engaging environment where my students can come into my classroom and escape the hardships of their community is essential, and I need some generous donors to help support my classroom.

My Project

The supplies I am requesting for my students, both the markers and colored pencils, will be used by the students to create freely from their creative imaginations. Students will have these resources readily available for them at their assigned seats where they can use them as their imagination fancies.

Donations to this project will help foster creativity through the use of vibrant colors.

By utilizing these resources, my students will be better able to enhance their assignments. The use of these resources will help foster my students' creative juices. I truly need your support to help make this a reality.

Thank you!
