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

By donating to my project you will be helping the students at my title I school in Denver learn lifelong coping and relationship skills! I will use these materials to help students reflect and learn about their emotions, as well as others. The books, games, and fidgets will help empower my students to know that they can be in control of their bodies and thinking. The office space decor will help create a soothing place for my students to feel calm. These materials will help give students creative outlets to learn coping skills that they will need for the future.

Thank you for supporting students and their mental health!

Ms. Naftz
Grades PreK-2
