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

In our classroom, we have an incredible emotional support guinea pig named Mr. Biggs who plays a vital role in our students' emotional and social well-being. Our students, many of whom have special needs, find comfort and joy in caring for and interacting with Mr. Biggs.

This bond has proven to be an invaluable part of their emotional and educational development.

To continue providing the best care for Mr. Biggs, we need to ensure we have the necessary supplies. This includes food, bedding, toys, and other essential items. Your support would directly contribute to the well-being of our guinea pig and, by extension, the happiness and emotional stability of our students.

We are seeking donations to cover these supplies and ensure that he has everything needed to thrive. Any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference and is greatly appreciated.
