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 first-year special education teacher, I’m working hard to create an inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student can succeed. Many of my students face unique challenges and deserve the tools and resources that will help them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

I’m seeking donations to provide essential classroom supplies, sensory tools, adaptive materials, and learning aids that will make a real difference in their daily experience.

Your support will directly impact these incredible kids and help them reach their full potential.

Thank you for believing in the power of education and inclusion.
