Celebrating 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
What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and the joy they bring into the classroom each day. They come ready to learn, grow, and support one another—even when resources are limited. Each of them has so much potential, and I’m committed to helping them reach it.
Every resource—whether it’s a notebook, a pencil, or a box of crayons—helps create a space where they can focus, express themselves, and engage in hands-on learning.
A simple set of markers becomes a tool for creativity. A folder helps them stay organized and feel proud of their work. These supplies aren't just materials—they're building blocks for confidence, participation, and success.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
