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

Our STEM classroom is bursting with creativity—and now we need some cozy corners to match! We’re asking for soft, gray carpets to create flexible seating spaces where students can collaborate, brainstorm, and build like true 21st-century engineers.

Sometimes, the best ideas don’t happen at a desk.

Whether they’re coding in Scratch, sketching blueprints, or planning group projects, students thrive in comfortable spaces that spark creativity and teamwork. These carpets will transform our room into a flexible, student-friendly hub of innovation.

With your support, our 5th grade scientists, inventors, and future engineers can stretch out, get comfy, and let their ideas roll. Thank you for helping us build a classroom that’s as inspiring as the minds inside it!
