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

Our parking lot is too chaotic! We've gotten feedback from students that arrival and dismissal times could run smoothly through a more organized system. Additionally, our 10th and 11th grade volunteers for the Food Bank are urgently needing a more mapped-out area of our parking lot to successfully distribute groceries to families in need.

I am requesting orange cones and delineator posts to place them in high-need areas on our lot to ensure our students' safety and create more efficiency.

Our students are true leaders in wanting to create a better environment on campus, and through your support we can make this happen. I can't wait to use these materials at future events.
