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

What I love most about my students is their kindness, resilience, and eagerness to learn every single day. They show up ready to grow, collaborate, and take on challenges—and they deserve to do that in a clean, healthy classroom environment.

With your help, we’re hoping to stock up on essential cleaning supplies like disinfecting wipes and paper towels.

These simple but important resources will help us keep our classroom clean, germ-free, and safe for all students. When students feel healthy and protected, they can focus better, participate more confidently, and stay in school consistently—ready to learn.

Our goal is to create a classroom environment where everyone feels cared for and where health and safety support academic success. These supplies will also teach students the value of responsibility, cleanliness, and respect for shared spaces.

My students are special because they look out for one another—and with your support, we can return the favor by giving them the clean and comfortable learning space they deserve!
