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

Mental health support has been an area of concern for years; however, at this time it should be a priority for all our students. As such, the materials being requested are to continue to provide students the social emotional learning that can set them up for a brighter day every day, and a successful future for them and ultimately for our communities. The goal is to provide the social emotional support now to prevent future significant needs related to trauma, mental heal illnesses, addiction, and homelessness. Please assist us to help our students be healthy and successful individuals in the future as we provide mental health support today!
