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

Due to a lack of potable drinking water, our school unfortunately has to rely on single-use plastic cups when students are thirsty. Our water is not safe for drinking, and we must rely filtered water jugs being delivered to school. It is painful to see the amount of plastic cups that our school must use in a day due to an inability to use water fountains. For Earth Day 2024, our school is attempting to take a look at our habits and make sustainable change. We could minimize this daily waste if every student had their own labeled water bottle. We will encourage students to bring water bottles that they already have from home, but many of our students may not have water bottles to bring. Please help our school reduce our carbon footprint by providing us with reusable water bottles for each student.

As a mountain community, our students are meaningfully connected to their environment.

By providing our students with reusable water bottles for the year, we are hoping to show our students that every one of their actions is meaningful and impactful on their planet and therefore, their community. This is a project that will be discussed at all levels of the school, with a hope students will see how we as a community can make meaningful change with a small change of behavior.
