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 in need of a few items to help my students during our school day.

Velcro, snacks, and lanyards will help to meet some of our needs.

My TK children are in school for 6.5 hours. It is a very long day for four-year-olds. The afternoon is especially long. My children get hungry. Providing crackers, granola bars, and snacks will help them maintain their strength and stimulate their brains throughout the school day.

Velcro will secure the corner of carpets on the ground so that we won't trip. It will hold our fabric covers for our stations to regulate centers.

And the lanyards will hold names for field trips and guest teachers. The easy release mechanism makes it safer for children to have these cords around their necks holding their identities.

Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering my children for your donation.
