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 school is reducing illness and absenteeism in our school by cleaning the air in our classrooms and providing clean air for our students' learning environment. Each of our classrooms, including music and art, has a portable air purifier built by our fifth grade Environmental Club.

With your help, we'll start off this school year with brand new air filters in our air purifiers.

This project will allow us to buy enough high quality air filters to clean our classroom air for the entire 2025-2026 school year.

Students have told us that their minds felt clearer and that they were able to concentrate better once the air purifiers were installed. These portable air filters clean our indoor air and help protect our students and teachers against airborne contaminants like dust, smoke, and pollution, as well as flu, cold, and virus particles. And studies have shown that these high quality air purifiers reduce illness and absenteeism, keeping students in school where they can learn.
