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

In our STEAM Maker Space, we see over 650 students a week. With all of these students coming and going it is important to have a well-organized workspace. As the school year progresses there are always dozens if not more ongoing projects that begin to clutter out the learning environment.

With your help students will have the necessary shelving to store their projects and maintain a clean working environment.

It can be said that a clear and organized work environment helps foster a rich and vibrant learning environment. After all, it is hard to get meaningful work done if we are always reorganizing and cleaning up after previous classes.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
