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 want to provide my students with basic school supplies such as notebooks, homework folders, glue sticks, scissors, pencil pouches, highlighters and erasers. We use these materials daily.

These supplies will help facilitate learning and make our classroom more functional.

With the help of your donations, my students will not need to worry about supplying their own pencils or erasers.

Students feel happy and ready to learn when they have the appropriate supplies for school. By providing basic school supplies for my students, I help avoid stress and embarrassment when they don't have the supplies they need. I want to be able to welcome them with the basic tools for back to school!
