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

Our school is a welcoming place for Refugee and Newcomer students. Recently, we have received over 15 new 3rd-grade students who are Newcomers. We are running out of supplies and need support to be given to these students so that they can be prepared to learn during instruction.

These supplies will allow our classroom to be a more pleasant and hands-on environment with a plentiful amount of supplies.

By having these classroom supplies, my students will have enough materials to have engaging lessons. These supplies are important to my students and me for the day-to-day function in the classroom. Thanks in advance for your amazing support!
