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

I love love camping. And we have so much beautiful and fenced-in space and beautiful California weather at our school site. We are aiming to build community and this would help so much! My students are learning to read at lightning speeds and this opportunity would be a reward and a learning opportunity for them!

If I set up these tents and fire pits the families will come!

The more connections we form the more our community will bond. We have so many new families I want to welcome them to our country. Please help!

This is my favorite project so far and I cannot wait to see the joy this will bring!
