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

We are seeking your generous support to create a safe, comfortable, and inviting learning environment for our students!

With your help, we aim to acquire a brand new classroom rug, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer to enhance our classroom environment.

A new rug will provide a cozy and functional space for our students to gather for group activities, discussions, and learning games. It will also help reduce noise and create a warm atmosphere that promotes engagement and participation.

In addition to the rug, we are requesting donations for disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff. These essential supplies will help us maintain a clean and hygienic environment. By providing these supplies, you will help us create a space where our students can learn and thrive with peace of mind!
