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

At our school, we believe that strong communication between school and home is essential to student success. But we’ve noticed a challenge—important messages don’t always make it home in ways that are clear, engaging, or accessible to everyone.

That’s why, as part of our Speak Out project, we are raising our voices to advocate for better tools that help us bridge that gap.

We are currently in need of:

Mini sticker printers – to create eye-catching reminders and personalized notes for students and families

13x19 paper – to print bold, attention-grabbing posters and take-home materials

Other creative supplies – like colorful ink, laminating sheets, and organizational tools that help us make communication clearer and more meaningful

These items may seem small, but they have a big impact. With them, we can send home newsletters that are easier to read, reminders that don’t get lost in backpacks, and positive messages that make families feel included and informed.

This is more than just a supply request—it’s a student-led effort to make sure everyone stays connected, heard, and valued. We’re speaking out because we care about our community and we want every family to feel like a part of our school.

Will you help us?

Your support means we can continue to find creative, effective ways to connect with families and make sure no one is left out of the conversation.
