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

Help give my incredible Kindergarten students the dynamic learning space they deserve! I love how curious, creative, and full of wonder they are each day. They come to school excited to learn, play, and connect—and I want to nurture that joyful energy in every way possible.

We are designing a shared, multi-functional Kindergarten Learning Hub that will serve all five classrooms.

This space will be a warm, welcoming environment where young learners can explore, express themselves, and grow together.

Your generous donation will help provide:

Sensory tools for calming, regulating, and hands-on learning

Dramatic play props to spark imagination, role play, and social growth

SEL resources to build empathy, communication, and emotional resilience

A cozy, colorful rug and soft pillows to create a calm, inviting space where students can relax, read, and recharge

Each item will help turn this shared space into a magical learning environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn through play. With your support, we can create a vibrant hub that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and community.

Thank you for helping us bring this vision to life!
