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 environmental club, Project Citizen Environmental, has spent the last few years transforming a small patch of our school's campus. We have successfully created walking paths, removed invasive plants, and planted native species, providing a valuable outdoor learning space for our students.

We are now seeking donations to expand this effort.

Your support will help us purchase supplies to install birdhouses, label our native plants with interactive QR codes, and create an educational bat habitat for a Halloween-themed project.

Your contribution will directly enrich our students' hands-on learning experiences and further our mission to create a thriving, educational green space for our entire school community.
