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’re working to improve our learning environment and create a more comfortable, supportive space for our students. One small change that can make a big difference is reducing the harsh glare from overhead lighting.

We are currently seeking donations of fluorescent light covers to help soften the lighting in our classrooms.

These covers can help reduce eye strain, improve focus, and create a calmer atmosphere for learning.

If you’re able to contribute or have anything to donate, we would greatly appreciate your support. My Kindergartners cannot wait for a more peaceful environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
