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 vision for the school garden extends far beyond just growing fruits and vegetables. It serves as an outdoor classroom where our students can explore the wonders of nature, learn about sustainability, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the environment.

Your generous donation of garden supplies will play a crucial role in nurturing our students' curiosity and fostering a love for learning.

Specifically, we are seeking funding for essential items such as worms for vermicomposting, composting bins, a hose for irrigation, gardening tools, seeds, and soil amendments. These supplies will enable us to create a thriving garden ecosystem where our students can actively engage in hands-on learning experiences.

By donating to our school garden project, you are investing in the future of our students and empowering them to become responsible stewards of the environment. Your contribution will not only provide them with valuable educational opportunities but also instill in them a sense of environmental awareness and appreciation that will last a lifetime.
