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

We're a self-contained Special Education classroom that has been set up in a repurposed office space so we are in desperate need of more storage! We have most of the supplies we will need to succeed this year, but the one thing we are missing is places to safely store these materials while they are not in use! For the past few years, we've been making it work with less supplies due to the lack of storage, but my students really deserve more! Please help us provided my exceptional learners with the storage space they need and deserve to reach their full potential!
