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

Teachers always consider the basics when creating an environment that will help students thrive. A classroom runs smoothly when students can have important resources at hand.

Items such as board cleaner and Kleenex are items used daily.

Students at a secondary level are unable to provide supplies such as Lysol wipes or snacks. Teachers will spend their money to provide these items because they make classroom environments run smoothly. A student will have Kleenex available so less time is spent heading to the restroom. Whiteboard cleaner helps students clean desks and whiteboards for the next class. Snacks that are available for students who may be experiencing hunger can make their day.

Donations make a huge difference and lighten the burden for students and teachers alike.
