Help me give my students the best academic experience possible, they deserve it.

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

My special education students would greatly benefit from these resources. They are eager to learn and deserve a chance to show what they know with resources from this project. These resources would help level the playing field for my students and get them excited about learning.

My students are one of a kind, they are polite, kind, and want to learn.

They are grateful and deserve the best resources. Academics do not come easy for them, so if this small donation helps them overcome difficulties, I fully support that. The flexible seating, novels, pens, and resources will help them achieve this.
