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

Imagine starting the school year without the basic tools you need to learn – no pencils to write with, no paper for notes, no wipes to clean the desks. Unfortunately, this is a reality for many students in our school. Our "Tools for Learning" fundraiser aims to bridge this gap by providing essential school supplies for students who need them most.

Every dollar you contribute goes directly towards purchasing items like folders, unique pencils, erasers, post it notes, and other fundamental supplies.

These aren't just material goods; they are tools for learning that unlock my student's potential. When students have the necessary supplies, they can actively participate in class, complete assignments, and engage fully with their education.

Ms. Gilbert High School of World Cultures Grades 9-12
