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

Hi donors, I am asking for some toiletries including toothbrushes, sandtimers and a few other basics for my students. I feel that it is important they can understand why proper hygiene is important so that they live a long happy and healthy life.

My goals for this project are to be able to model how proper teeth brushing takes place, including the amount of time one should be brushing.

They will use the sand timer at home to monitor how long they are brushing each quadrant. Proper hygiene starting early is a skill that will last them a lifetime!
