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 have some amazing students in 6th grade who work hard on a daily basis. These students are experiencing a lot of changes which can lead to needing more deodorant and other items. Hygiene items can contribute to student's self esteem and confidence. When students feel clean and refreshed, they are more likely to engage in learning activities and participate in class discussions.

Therefore, I would like to provide these students with hygiene carts that would contain small containers of deodorant and other items.

My goal for this project is to create a positive and inclusive learning environment where all students feel comfortable and valued. By providing hygiene products, you are removing a potential barrier to learning and promoting a culture of care and support within the school community.
