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

I am reaching out to express my gratitude for your continued support and to ask for your assistance with an exciting project our third grade students will be undertaking. We will be diving into a project-based learning experience focused on ocean animals, where students will research a specific ocean creature and present their findings, along with building a suitable habitat for their chosen animal.

To bring this project to life, we are seeking donations to help cover materials and resources needed for the students' research and habitat construction.

Your generosity would greatly enhance their learning experience and allow them to explore the wonders of marine life in a hands-on way.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our students.
