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

I am reaching out to seek your support for a project that is very close to my heart. Through this wonderful platform that connects teachers with donors like you, I am hoping to provide my students with essential classroom supplies that will enhance their learning experience.

In our classroom, we strive to create an environment where every student feels inspired, engaged, and equipped to learn.

However, we are currently in need of several key items that will make a significant difference in our daily activities. These supplies includes notebooks for journals, glue and markers.

The supplies we are requesting will directly impact our students' ability to engage in creative, hands-on learning. Students will be able to brainstorm with each other by using dry erase markers to create their final products. Another example, is making connections with other subjects by adding cross curriculum to science. For this reason the markers, glue supplies and journals, are needed for our students to explore their creativity through various projects, which are crucial for developing visual representation and writing in science.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
