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 teach pre-K at an amazing school in an equally amazing community. We are low in funds and really need outdoor play equipment. I am asking for a lot. This project is the most I have ever asked for. There are two pre-k classrooms at my school and we basically have nothing! I cannot imagine only my students using everything here.

This project will benefit 48 kiddos this year and many more kiddos each year!

These items are necessary. Children at this age need to develop their gross and fine motor skills as well as socialization.

They play outside for almost two hours a day. They need the climbing trunk and caterpillar. They need kinetic sand and sand box and water table. They need an outside sitting table with chairs. Here they can read books outside. They also need a painting easel and paints.

Thank you for your generous donations and your continued support!
