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

The personal care items requested, including deodorant, lip balm, mints, and hand cream, will help students maintain their confidence, stay comfortable, and focus on learning without distractions. When students have access to these basic hygiene and self-care products, they can feel at ease and present their best selves in the classroom.

The goal of this project is to equip students with the essentials they need to feel confident and cared for, fostering an environment where they can focus on their education and reach their full potential.

My students are incredibly resilient and dedicated, often navigating challenges outside of school, yet they consistently strive to succeed. By providing these personal care items, we can support their well-being and ensure they have the tools to thrive both academically and personally.
