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 Students

My students are outstanding young women and young men. They have done their best to follow social distancing guidelines for over a year. Our school is located in one of the areas of our city that had the highest positivity rate. My students have endured so much during this pandemic. They are back at school. The transition has not been easy.

My students feel stressed due to the pandemic and need a healthy way to release their stress.

Personal appearance is important for teens. Let's help them to feel good about themselves so they can actively engage in learning.

My Project

The personal care items such as shampoo and conditioner will help my students to take care of themselves and their appearance.

Let's help my teenage students to feel good about themselves.

We must teach our students that they need to take care of themselves during this unprecedented time. Teenagers care about the way they look. They feel more confident when they look their best. Let's boost their self-esteem by providing them with personal hygiene products.

Please help us to show our students we care about them. Let's help our students look sharp and improve their self-esteem.
