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

I love my students' enthusiasm and creativity, which shine through in their science projects and eagerness to learn. To support their efforts and enhance their well-being, I'm requesting a Brio Bottom Loading Water Cooler Dispenser, stylus pens, and reusable water bottles. These items will help create a more efficient and engaging learning environment.

Imagine the excitement and focus students will experience with easy access to cool water.

The Brio Water Cooler will keep them hydrated and reduce classroom interruptions, allowing them to concentrate better during lessons. The reusable water bottles are a sustainable solution, encouraging students to stay hydrated without the environmental impact of single-use plastics.

The stylus pens will enhance their digital learning experience, allowing for more precise work on tablets and other touchscreens. This is especially important for students who find writing with their fingers challenging, giving them a tool that makes digital navigation and project creation easier.

These resources will transform our classroom, making learning more inclusive and environmentally conscious while supporting our students' social, emotional, and mental well-being. Students will benefit from practical tools that support their health and enhance their learning experiences, setting them up for future success in science. With your support, our students will thrive in an innovative and supportive environment.
