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

Our students are ready to come back to school after a summer off. They crave the routine, are excited by the new lessons and look forward to building on old friendships and making new ones.

Fresh new materials make the new school year so much more exciting!

Our students will be so thankful for fresh markers, sharpened pencils, new glue sticks and scissors and pointy crayons! Nothing is better than a beginning of the year art project with snazzy materials!

The beginning of the year is the time to use new materials to work on projects that will decorate the classroom and make it a home for our students all year long. Your donation will make this possible!
