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

Picture this: a classroom filled with eager students breathing fresh, clean air, where they can focus on their studies without worrying about unhealthy air. We need your help to make this a reality. We're seeking donations for HEPA air filters to transform our classroom into a healthier and safer learning space.

Our students are resilient inner-city kids located just 2 miles from a freeway, and they deserve every opportunity to succeed.

By contributing to our project, you'll be making a difference in their educational journey. Your donations will help us provide HEPA air filters to enhance their learning experience by ensuring they breathe clean, filtered air.

What I will be asking people to donate:

HEPA Air Filtration Systems

About Your Project:

In addition to using these filters for day-to-day air quality improvement, we also plan to incorporate them into our science curriculum by conducting experiments to determine which filters are the most effective. This hands-on learning experience will teach our students valuable scientific and analytical skills.

With your contributions, we can achieve our goals of creating a safe and healthy learning environment. In addition to improving our students' health and learning experience, this project will provide peace of mind to our community. Thank you for your support in ensuring that our students can breathe easy!
