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

Hello, my name is Sean Skillern! I am a SSN (Significant Support Needs) Special Education Teacher at a middle school in Colorado. Within our classroom, we have several classes each week that are focused on building independent living skills (I.e., job rotations, community outings, kitchen safety). This year, we hope to start a schoolwide coffee cart in an effort to practice budgeting and math skills, entrepreneurship, and job training.

With a donation, we will be able to start our "COFFEE CART FOR COOL KIDS" and also caffeinate 20 or so teachers :)
