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

As a dedicated special education teacher in a Title I school, I have the privilege of working with incredible 10th and 12th graders who face significant challenges daily. Many of my students come from low-income households and lack access to basic necessities.

To support them holistically, I am creating care packages filled with essential toiletries, school supplies, and snacks to ensure they have the tools and comfort to focus on their education.

Additionally, I need a locked cabinet to securely store these items and distribute them as needed. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact the lives of my students, helping them feel supported and valued. Together, we can ensure every student has what they need to succeed. Thank you for your generosity!
