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

Nothing gets students excited for a new school year like shopping for school supplies.

These school supplies - Calm Strips , color pencils, water color pencils for art projects and sharpened pencils - will allow all students to experience that excitement.

Pencils are something we run out of weekly. This large supply of pencils will last us much longer. Living in the Central Valley of California the case of Kleenex will keep our sniffles at bay and our germs where they belong! Each of these items is extremely important to our daily success.

We are so thankful to have supportive donors to supply our classroom and meet our basic needs.

Mrs. Martinez
Grades 3-5
