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

Every time we have a sub at our school, they are in awe of how well behaved our students are. Our school is a small welcoming school and building a strong community is one of our top priorities.

Our students are good, but during recess, there’s not much they can do.

Our students don’t have a playground, which has been a dream for many of the little ones. They spend recess in a gated empty parking lot. Please help us get sports equipment to make recess more fun!
