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 love giving my students charts and diagrams that help them learn note reading in my piano classes. The only problem is, after a while the charts are a wrinkled destroyed mess.

I would like to laminate a few of the charts that the students use consistently so that they will last the whole year.

It would also be beneficial for the students to have access to the supplies so that they can make use of them for other materials and projects. This grant would provide plenty of laminating pouches for my students for the rest of the year.
