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 students thrive in a classroom filled with creativity, structure, and hands-on learning. To prepare for the upcoming school year, I’m requesting essential supplies like colored pencils, markers, glue sticks, laminating sheets, and more.

These materials help me create engaging visuals, organize classroom routines, and support every learner’s creativity and confidence from day one.

With your support, I’ll be able to prep classroom centers, visual cues, learning games, and anchor charts that will stay durable and useful all year long. Your donation helps me spend less time and money worrying about basic supplies and more time focused on what matters most—my students.
