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

I’m working to transform my classroom into a warm, welcoming space where students feel safe, inspired, and ready to learn every day. Right now, we’re missing some simple but powerful things: a classroom carpet and decorations that spark joy and creativity.

A classroom carpet isn’t just for looks—it gives my students a comfy, calm place to gather for reading time, class discussions, and group learning.

The right decorations can help create a space that feels less institutional and more like a home away from home.

Your donation, no matter the size, helps bring this vision to life for kids who deserve a beautiful place to learn. You’re not just funding items—you’re helping create moments of joy, comfort, and connection every single day.

Please consider supporting our classroom dream today!

Thank you for believing in my students and in the power of a cozy classroom!
