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

Thank you for looking into my project! I have been blessed with donated hygiene care items, but I plan to start a backpack program in my district next school year. We also have tons of clothes that get donated, but they're all in a box, tossed together. My goal with the clothes rack is to be able to organize the clothes by hanging them up for students to look through more easily. The black cabinet is for the guidelines for the backpack program, and then the panties are for girls who may need them, as those are things that aren't reusable and that I tend to lack the most. I mainly need the organization for my care closet and a potential backpack program to share with my front office staff.

My students live in rural areas and benefit significantly from items in my care closet.

This organization is crucial for me to keep items clean, itemized, and readily available for those who need them. I want to thank you in advance for any support for my students.
