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

Hello! My name is Janelle Rice I am a tutor within the TLC and SOAR program at my high school! I started this DonorsChoose because our kiddos are in dire need of these supplies!

Here in these programs we are teaching our kiddos to have essential life skills, such as counting money, learning how to work a cash register, learning how to cook for themselves, doing laundry, how to wash dishes properly and many other things!

We use all of these items to ensure that our students get the most out of the years that they are with us.

These items will help with the learning experience that myself and our paraprofessionals provide on a day to day basis. We hope that you will choose us when thinking of donating. We are so grateful for this opportunity and your kindness!
