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 would like to create a special butterfly garden at our school. Our students are always so excited and eager to learn about plant and animal life cycles. Please help us start a new beautiful garden at our school. This project would help beautify our school, promote positive experiences with nature, and help develop responsible students.

We are especially interested in creating a garden that will attract butterflies!

We need raised garden beds, soil, seeds, and basic equipment.

Our community school students and families expressed interest in offering gardening clubs. We greatly look forward to offering this experience to our students. It will look amazing and I know our students will love and remember this experience.
