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 school has an amazing school garden and space to learn outside… but it gets cold to learn outdoors in the winter! Please help me purchase hot cocoa and cups for my middle school students while they learn outdoors during the winter.

My middle school students feel a lot more motivated to learn about environmental education and help in our school garden in the winter when they can warm up afterwards with a hot drink.

Your support will allow me to purchase hot cocoa packets and cups to keep my students warm & out in nature during this semester of outdoor education.
