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

Our classroom floors get messy quickly—between dust, crumbs, tracked-in dirt, and the occasional spill, it doesn’t take long for the space to feel less than fresh. Unfortunately, the floors aren’t cleaned thoroughly each day, which makes it difficult to maintain a clean environment. That’s why I’m requesting a vacuum cleaner and mop—to help us manage daily messes and keep our learning space in good shape.

The vacuum cleaner will help us remove dry debris, dust, and hair efficiently, while the mop will allow us to tackle sticky spills and sanitize the floor to reduce germs.

Together, these tools will help us create a cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable classroom that supports student focus and pride in their space.
