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

Shopping for back-to-school supplies with my mom is one of my fondest memories as a kid. Unfortunately, not every child has this experience. Many families simply can't afford to purchase these items. Help me bring a little joy to the classroom this year by donating to this project. When students show up on the first day how amazing will it be for them to have their very own "gift" to unwrap like a new colorful pencil box filled with the funniest supplies, lead pencils, smelly pencils, erasers, white board markers, and more.
