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

We currently have a great space for our Maker Space, however, it is pieced together with mismatching bins and bookshelves! Receiving new matching bookshelves and a rolling cart would really give us the ability to organize and keep our Maker Space accessible to students for use! Additionally, we are always looking to add new items to the space, items that can help students calm down, build, and explore independently! Adding these resources would enable us to have more students visiting the Maker Space throughout the remainder of the school year and for years to come!
