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

Students will be able to learn about the birds and butterflies and the importance they play in the environment.

Students will not only learn about the intricate interconnections within ecosystems but also develop a profound sense of responsibility towards protecting these invaluable natural resources.

Students will be introduced to birds and butterflies igniting their curiosity and sparking a lifelong passion for environmental conservation. Your generosity plays a vital roles in shaping the environmental leaders of tomorrow. Together we can nurture a generation of individuals who are committed to preserving the beauty and diversity of our planet for generations to come.
