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

In today's dynamic educational environments, safety remains a top priority. However, ensuring the well-being of students requires more than just conventional measures. This project aims to equip classrooms with essential safety tools: LifeVac and Sharpies.

LifeVac is a revolutionary device designed to rescue choking victims when traditional methods fail.

Its non-invasive design empowers teachers and staff to act swiftly in critical situations, potentially saving lives. Additionally, Sharpies, often underestimated, play a crucial role in emergency preparedness by enabling clear labeling and communication during crises.

By supporting this project, you're not only investing in the safety of our classrooms but also empowering educators with the tools they need to respond effectively to emergencies. Join us in creating a secure environment where learning thrives and safety is paramount. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our students and educators.
