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 second-grade colleague and I are in need of replenishment of consumable items that need to be replenished at the start of each year including folders, notebooks, glue and crayons.

Making a great first impression on the first day of school is very important to set the environment in class.

Thanks to donors like you, I find that I have many of the materials needed for my new batch of second graders. However, we are in need of some materials to complete items that students will find ready at their desk to utilize throughout the year to help them master skills. Items, such as a name tag with their names written on them along with other useful information to use as tools and guidance. We need desk pets to keep them motivated. Thank you for your help with these supplies.
