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 students are special because of their unique backgrounds, interests, and potential, and I strive to create opportunities that cater to their individual needs and strengths.

A fish tank in our science center will provide a dynamic learning environment, fostering curiosity, observation skills, and understanding of aquatic ecosystems.

This project aims to offer hands-on experiences that deepen students' appreciation for biology and environmental science while promoting inquiry-based learning. With your support, we can inspire a lifelong love for science and nurture future scientists who will explore and protect our natural world.
