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 love how motivated and curious my students are each day. They come to school eager to learn, write, and create—even when supplies are limited. They take pride in their work and always strive to do their best, no matter the obstacles. It’s inspiring to see how something as simple as having the right materials can help them feel more prepared and confident.
This project will help us meet essential classroom needs.
Copy paper allows me to provide students with printed assignments, worksheets, and creative projects that reinforce skills across all subjects. Automatic pencil sharpeners will keep our pencils ready without constant interruptions or broken sharpeners, saving valuable learning time. My goal is to create a classroom environment that runs smoothly so students can stay focused and engaged. These basic supplies make a big difference in the flow of our day and the quality of student work. Your support helps us build a space where students can thrive, and for that, I am truly grateful.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
