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

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new school social worker, dedicated to fostering a positive and supportive environment for our students. I am reaching out to seek your assistance in completing my calm corner in the office, a space designed to promote emotional well-being and resilience. Your contribution will not only enhance the physical environment but will also enable me to acquire crucial books on mental health, providing valuable resources to better support our students. Additionally, I am seeking activity books that will engage and empower students as they navigate their mental health journeys.

Your generous donations will play a vital role in creating a nurturing and empowering atmosphere that promotes mental health and well-being.

Thank you for considering supporting this important initiative.
