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 absolutely love the curiosity and enthusiasm my students bring to class every day. They are eager to learn, ask thoughtful questions, and work hard to grow academically. The materials we’re requesting—binders, markers, pens, pencils, and snacks—will help them stay organized, focused, and energized throughout their learning journey. Binders will help them keep track of their work and progress, markers and pens will encourage creativity and engagement in their projects, while pencils will ensure they have the right tools for all their assignments. Snacks will provide the fuel they need to stay attentive and ready to tackle challenges. With these resources, my students will have everything they need to reach their full potential!
