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

With cold and allergy seasons affecting many students, tissues are an essential item that helps maintain good hygiene and reduces the spread of germs. By donating to our project for tissues and a fun gaming chair, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Having tissues in the classroom help students stay comfortable and focused on learning. When students don't have to worry about runny nose, sneezing, or minor messes, they can concentrate better on their academic task. It also reduces disruptions since they won't need to leave their seat to find tissues elsewhere. We like to be maintaining a clean and distraction free classroom environment. A healthy and comfortable classroom environment helps the students to focus more, protecting the school population from getting sick during flu season. A healthy and comfortable classroom helps students to stay engaged and learning, avoiding the spread of germs because they cover their sneezes and use tissues when blowing their nose and to cover their mouth.
