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

We are seeking donations of basic and cleaning supplies to help keep our Occupational Therapy room safe, organized, and welcoming for our students. Items like Clorox wipes, tissues, a broom, and baby wipes are essential for maintaining a clean and hygienic environment where students can focus on their therapy without distractions or health concerns. A pencil sharpener ensures our students are always ready to work on fine motor tasks, while fun stickers help reinforce positive behavior and responsibility when they clean up after themselves.

These supplies may seem small, but they play a big role in supporting our students' independence, confidence, and success.

Thank you for helping us create a space that is both functional and motivating for our learners!
