Celebrating 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 currently work with an energetic group of high school students on the autism spectrum in Houston, Texas.

I would love the opportunity to gift my students, soft knitted hats, personal blankets, cocoa mix, and breakfast biscuits.

Like the song says "Baby, It's Cold Outside" a soft knitted hat is essential for the chilly Texas weather. A soft cozy warm blanket is a must for getting a good night's rest. The breakfast snacks help students maintain focus and refuel their bodies to learn!

These tasty snacks are their favorites and are the perfect essential for my students reaching their potential. Thank you in advance for making sure my students are warm, comfortable and fed so they can learn at their absolute best.
