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 am a first year teacher that wants this hygiene closet will allow students to feel comfortable in the classroom.

This closet will include things like sanitary napkins, deodorants, tooth brushes and paste as well ask flushable wipes. It will help take the fear out of asking for things as the items like...will be discreetly placed in the pouches and where they can be easily accessed.
