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

A vacuum cleaner will allow us to maintain a clean and healthy classroom, free from mice and bedbugs. This is vital for creating a safe learning environment. By regularly cleaning and reducing the presence of pests, we can ensure that my students aren’t distracted by concerns about their physical environment. With fewer health risks and a more comfortable atmosphere, students can focus better on their lessons, engage more deeply in learning activities, and feel more secure in their space.

My goal for this project is to provide my students with a clean and safe environment where they can thrive academically and emotionally.

Having a vacuum cleaner will enable us to quickly address cleanliness issues, maintain a pest-free classroom, and foster a healthier space for both students and teachers. The ultimate goal is for every student to feel comfortable and focused so they can reach their full potential.

My students are bright, curious, and eager to learn, but they face challenges that often go unnoticed. Despite any difficulties they may encounter outside the classroom, they come to school every day with a positive attitude and a willingness to work hard. They deserve a clean, healthy environment where they can feel safe and supported as they grow and learn. This project is an investment in their future and well-being.
