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

My students are an amazing group of kids who deserve the very best. This past year, second grade had the highest growth in our school. We want to keep the momentum going by supplying them with all that they need!

My teammate and I serve 40 students, who are creative, powerful, and fun.

They are excited to learn and grow every day. The chair pockets and zip pouches will help them keep their treasures safe. We will use the wristbands as whiteboard erasers - with style! Our new color printer will keep us up to date with all of the materials, activities, and student work we need to print during the school year.

Your donations will help us achieve everything we are hoping for this year!
