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

We believe that access to high-quality educational resources is essential to closing the achievement gap and empowering children to reach their full potential.

The acquisition of these Secret Stories phonics flashcards will directly benefit over 400 children enrolled in our school.

These flashcards will be integrated into our literacy instructional block to supplement our phonics curriculum. They will be providing hands-on learning experiences that engage children and reinforce key phonics concepts. By improving their phonics skills, children will be better equipped to become confident and proficient readers, setting them on a path to academic success.

With your support, we can provide the tools and resources necessary to promote early literacy development and set children on a path to lifelong learning.

Thank you for considering our grant proposal. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of children in our community.
