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

We are studying the life cycle and parts of plants and have started to germinate seeds to plant outside soon in the spring. We would love you to help us expand our gardening skills.

Bulbs will be purchased to beautify the school by a group of special education students.

We have many planters outside the walls of the school and in our courtyard which no longer produce flowers and need new plants. Please help my students in this community improvement by purchasing gardening supplies. We will provide the muscle and shovels to make our city a more beautiful place.
