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 are always willing to learn. Since most of my students come from low-income communities, their families are not always able to provide the supplies necessary to get through the school year.

Providing my students with these school supplies will help them get through the school year with the proper items, without their parents having the burden of being able to financially afford them.

Basic supplies like crayons, pencils, and pencil boxes will provide them with the necessary writing and coloring tools to complete assignments. Headphones will allow them to quietly complete tablet work without distractions while sitting on new stools that will provide flexible seating, and hats and gloves will provide them with warm hands and heads during recess time.
