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

My students come from underserved communities but still bring a light and outgoing spirits to school. They do their best and strive to be their best selves. Let's not allow basic materials like pencils, be a barrier to their education success journeys.

As the world moves forward using technology, students have grown used to bringing their Chromebooks to school but tend to forget writing tools since most of their work is on Google Classroom.

I want to have pencils readily available for students who need it. I also want the rings for students that face anxiety during testing. Thank you in advance for helping!
