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 classroom, school, and students have a great need for the replacement of supplies.

We are in need of materials such as journals, pencils, crayons, folders, color paper, scissors, and much more to help enhance lessons.

The lamination pouches will provide us with more opportunities to replace our centers that have wear and tear. The labels will help replace the ones that are torn and damaged.

I would appreciate your help to be able to provide these materials that are so desperately needed.

With all the difficult situations that my students and families are experiencing, your help will make them feel special and will directly impact their access to learning.
