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

I am a second-year Spanish teacher. This is my first classroom, and unfortunately, I don't have enough supplies for all my students. My goal with this donation is to ensure that all my students have the necessary supplies to make the class fun and accessible for learning a new language. The children need pencils, writing notebooks, pens, dry-erase markers, and pencil sharpeners. This donation will greatly assist me during my second year of teaching. Thank you for all the contributions and for taking the time to help all my students. Muchas gracias, sé que mis estudiantes estarán muy contentos con cada donación.
