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 a counselor in education, I am passionate about mental health, I am seeking your support to provide my students with supplies that nurture their social-emotional and behavioral learning. By creating opportunities for fun, engaging experiences that focus on self-regulation, emotional expression, and mental wellness, students can begin to heal, grow, and develop tools that not only support their well-being but also enhance their academic success. A strong foundation in mental health helps students manage stress, build resilience, and connect more meaningfully with their learning. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a lasting impact. It supports my mission to show students that mental health is not just something we talk about in school—it's something that will walk with them throughout their lives. Thank you for helping me in building a healthier, more supportive community.
