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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are bilingual leaders on the quest for social justice in their community and world. With these materials, it will make it easier for them to directly apply their learning into practice. It is my hope that students are not deterred from learning because they do not have the resources to be successful or a classroom that is welcoming to them after a challenging year.

Please consider donating to provide my students with binders, pencils, and healthy snacks to keep them focused on their lessons during the school day.

As adults, we understand how important it is to care for the whole child. Our students count on your generous donations to ensure their future success in class socratic seminars, projects and future advocacy with these materials.
