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

My school is a Title I school in a high-needs neighborhood in Miami, FL. My student body comprises mainly ELL and special education students, making it a vulnerable population.

Thanks to your donation, my middle schoolers can access readily available hygiene product, stored in plastic organizers, in the classroom.

The supplies will be available to take home as needed without being asked any embarrassing questions. In addition, snacks will also be available for them to take should they not have access to food after school.

With your help, their worry about hygiene and hunger will be alleviated, allowing them to remain engaged and focused on their learning experiences with their classmates.
