Celebrating 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
I am hoping to add a photo printer to our classroom to help capture and celebrate special moments throughout the year. From student achievements to classroom projects, and even our SCICON field trip, having the ability to print photos instantly would allow us to create meaningful displays and keepsakes throughout the school year and for events like Open House and Back to School Night.
The addition of a photo printer would help bring our learning environment to life and strengthen connections with families by showcasing student work and events in a more personal and visual way.
Your support would make a lasting difference in how we highlight student success and build classroom community. Thank you for considering this opportunity to enrich our space!
