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 am writing this proposal on behalf of a classroom that serves students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Unfortunately, this classroom currently does not have a carpet and this is creating a negative impact on the student's learning and well-being. The hard floor is uncomfortable for the students to sit on for long periods and does not provide a safe and inviting learning environment for them.

A new carpet will serve as an important tool in creating a positive and safe learning environment for these students.

A comfortable and inviting classroom can help to reduce distractions and promote focus, leading to improved academic performance. With your help, we can provide these students with the comfortable and safe learning environment they deserve. Thank you for your consideration.
