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

My children are so sweet, and they have made do with very little this year due to budget constraints in the district. We need clean new carpets and sensory toys. We need sand and a tunnel to crawl through just for fun!

Every day my children are traveling in a world that is confusing to them and being able to touch and hear and play will help them to socialize and learn.

Most of my students are non-verbal and it is hard for them to tell what they are feeling but their little faces show joy at new things.

With the help of donors, this fall my students will have a beautiful new colorful room to walk into.
