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

As we prepare for the 2025 school year, we're reaching out with a simple but meaningful ask: help us equip my kindergarten students with the tools they need to learn, create, and thrive!

From the basics like pencils, glue, folders, and headphones, to classroom staples like Expo boards, clipboards, desk name plates, and more, every supply makes a difference.

Many of my students, bright and curious learners, come to school every day full of questions and excitement, but often without the basic supplies needed to fully participate. Despite this, they never let it dim their spirit. With just a pencil, a pair of headphones, or a fresh folder, they could dive even deeper into their learning and feel confident alongside their classmates. Your support doesn’t just provide materials—it shows students like this that they are seen, supported, and valued.

Whether it's headphones to help students focus during independent learning, pencils, glue, and folders for daily creativity and organization, expo boards for interactive lessons, clipboards, and desk name plates to keep us flexible and focused, each item will serve a specific purpose in supporting a loving and organized environment!

Donors truly make all the difference in our classroom. Your generosity goes far beyond supplies—it sends a powerful message to my students that people out there believe in them and their potential. Every pencil, clipboard, and set of headphones you help provide becomes part of a brighter learning experience. Because of you, our classroom becomes more inclusive, more engaging, and more full of opportunity. You’re not just donating materials—you’re helping build confidence, joy, and a lifelong love of learning.

Thank you for believing in our classroom.

With heartfelt gratitude.
