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

Students in our school need access to emergency supplies they don't have access to otherwise, to help prevent added stress or discomfort in their day. I am fundraising for all students at our K-8 school to have access to the basics. I am hoping all students can have access to hygiene kits, toothbrushes, bins for extra snacks, deodorant, hats, gloves, ice packs and bandaids for the nurse to name a few.

These supplies will ensure that all students can continue their day in comfort.

These items will also provide a sense of safety for students knowing that crucial items they may need are readily available without judgment or the whole world knowing. It makes a world of difference having a sense of safety and comfort come what may during a students school day. We are all incredibly grateful for your support of our students!
