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 the counselor to our counseling department (The Zone). My goal is to create an environment that provides a safe space for our students to trust and rely on. Being able to give students a space that many do not have at home or in their out-of-school environments can help instill hope and comfort and gain inspiration for their future success.

Because our school does not have the funds to help support the change I want to make, I kindly ask if anyone else would show compassion for these students.

The storage cabinets will hold books, activities, games, and other items in our office. The plushies will help with comfort for when a student feels upset or alone. The carpets and any other accents will help create a comforting and safe space for the students to feel welcomed and hopeful.

Please help support our counseling department, as it is so important to so many students on our campus. Thank you so very kindly in advance!
