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

Our students are eager learners with big imaginations and a strong desire to express themselves. They approach each day with curiosity and determination, excited to explore new ideas through writing and drawing. What I love most about my students is their resilience and creativity—they are always ready to try again and push their limits.

Having quality pencils available means so much to them.

These simple tools allow students to practice essential writing skills, complete assignments, and bring their creative ideas to life on paper. With the right pencils, students can focus on developing their fine motor skills, spelling, and storytelling abilities. Your support will provide them with the tools they need to succeed and build confidence in their learning journey.
