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 work with limited and non-verbal autistic high school students. I'm requesting your help to purchase some keys and padlocks, screwdrivers, zippers, snaps, clasps and other items to help my students learn some life skills, and work on their fine motor skills.

My students are special to me because they work hard everyday to learn things that we take for granted.

My students need assistance with learning and practicing everyday skills such as opening a door with a key, using a zipper/snap/buckle for clothing and other items, and using everyday tools.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
