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

As a 1st grade teacher and cheer coach in a Title I school, I see every day how a little support can make a big difference. Your generosity helps my young learners grow, dream, and believe in themselves—both in the classroom and on the cheer mat.

My goal is to provide poms, bows, and water bottles for our cheer team, and books, markers, and book bins for my classroom.

This matters because tools and organization fuel confidence, focus, and joy. My students are special, curious, resilient, and full of heart. They are eager to cheer loudly and learn bravely.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
