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

In the heart of a low-income school, where students rely on free breakfast and lunch, we face the looming threat of budget cuts. As our district tightens its purse strings, our students, already needing additional resources to thrive, find themselves in a precarious position. While their potential remains boundless, the support they require to excel is dwindling. This is where DonorsChoose steps in, offering our educators and learners a lifeline. With your help, we can ensure that every student has access to the tools they need to succeed despite the challenges imposed by shrinking budgets and diminishing resources.

Beyond its humble appearance, quality paper holds the potential to preserve precious moments of creativity for a lifetime.

Every stroke of a pencil, every splash of color, represents a piece of a student's journey, a story waiting to be told. While it may seem trivial, providing our students with good-quality paper is an investment in their artistic legacy. It's a testament to their hard work, imagination, and potential to leave a lasting impact on the world. With your support, we can ensure that their artistic endeavors are not just fleeting moments but cherished memories preserved for years.
