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 an Algebra 1 teacher in Philadelphia, I work with students who are full of potential but often face financial hardships that limit their access to basic academic resources. Many of my students come from low-income communities and do not have the materials they need to take effective math notes; items like notebooks, binders, folders, and writing tools. These resources are essential for helping students stay organized, build confidence, and succeed in math. Your support will help level the playing field, ensuring our students receive the same opportunities as their peers in more affluent schools. With your help, we can empower them to take ownership of their learning, improve academic outcomes, and build skills that last a lifetime. Every donation brings us closer to equity in education.
