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

Our second graders are so excited about their new science unit on animals and their habitats—and their biggest wish is to have real pet frogs in the classroom!

We’re raising funds to buy three 50-gallon reptile tanks and the essential supplies to keep our frogs happy and healthy, including habitat materials, lighting, and food.

These tanks will give our students the chance to observe, care for, and learn from living creatures up close.

Your donation will help bring hands-on science to life and spark curiosity, responsibility, and wonder in our young learners. Even a small gift can make a big hop toward making their dream a reality!
