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 new history teacher, I am eager to transform my classroom into a captivating realm of exploration. To achieve this, I am seeking donations to equip our time-traveling teenagers with essential gear and cool gadgets! From practical classroom tools to mind-engaging sensory toys, I aim to create an inclusive and dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive. Your support will enable us to unlock history's secrets, empower young minds, and make history class an adventure. Thank you for being a part of this exciting journey and investing in our student's futures.
