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 Earth Club students are eager to start growing their own vegetables and flowers, but we need your help to make it happen! To create a thriving garden at school, we are seeking donations of seeds, soil, and cups. These materials are essential for our students to have the hands-on experience of planting and nurturing their own plants.

Having the opportunity to grow vegetables and flowers will not only teach students about gardening but also provide valuable lessons in responsibility, patience, and environmental stewardship.

We are excited to see how this project will inspire them to learn more about nature and sustainability.

Your support will make it possible for our students to experience the joys of growing their own food and flowers, and we truly appreciate any contributions you can make to help bring this garden to life.
