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

As you may know, Earth Day is approaching, and our kindergarten class is gearing up to celebrate and educate our young learners about the importance of caring for our planet.

To enhance our Earth Day activities, we're aiming to provide each child with a book focused on environmental awareness and sustainability.

These books will not only educate but also inspire our students to become stewards of the Earth from a young age.

However, to make this initiative possible, we're seeking support from generous individuals and organizations like yours. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to purchasing these books and fostering a love for the environment among our students.

Thank you for considering our request. Together, we can make a difference in shaping the future of our planet.
