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

Help us create a warm and welcoming classroom!

We’re building a vibrant, nurturing space where every student feels safe, inspired, and at home.

To bring this vision to life, we’re hoping to add a cozy carpet rug for story time, where students can gather together, feel comfortable, and build community.

We also plan to decorate with motivational posters and positive signage to lift spirits and encourage kindness, growth, and resilience every day. To tie it all together, a calming floral theme will bring a peaceful and inviting atmosphere that helps students focus and feel at ease.

Your support will help transform our classroom into a place where students not only learn, but thrive.
