Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our school is in the process of creating out school garden! Were planting vegetable and flowers that will grow soon! I am looking to place a table and seats for whenever a student is having a rough day! If they are having a rough day we will go outside sit at the table and talk about what happened. Sometime were needing to go sit outside, get a breathe of fresh air, and let the sun hit our skin. The garden is maintained by our students and this would also allow them to sit and enjoy their own work!
