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

Hi! I am PSW counselor at a high school in Los Angeles. With your help, I will be able to decorate and provide a welcoming environment to engage my students. I want to create a space for my students to feel safe and talk about any issues that are distracting them from their studies.

The Calm Corner will provide students with a space to self regulate, reflect, and ultimately find comfort.

I am requesting a rug, molding sand, posters, journals, stress balls, and other items to create this Calm Corner.

I work with high needs students, and your support will provide my students with the much needed tools to succeed. Thank you in advance!

Mr. Cadena Crenshaw High School Stemm Magnet Grades 9-12
