Peace Garden

Help me give my students a wonderful garden at school, one to be proud of!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Alvarado's classroom raised $281

This project is fully funded

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 Students

Students are very caring and easy going. Easy to get a conversation going. Students are very respectful. They are very wide for their age. Extremely talented! They are very resourceful students. I just think that all of them will be successful in life because they will never give up.

My Project

All 3000 students will be able to seat in this garden as they eat their lunch peacefully as they watch brimming birds, bees, birds and beautiful flowers blossoming. The garden will be accessible to everyone at school. This will be a place where nature meets the students without having to drive to the mountains. I really believe that this will help students deal with some of the anxiety that has been brought by Covid. The garden will bring them joy and peace as we work through another challenging and uncertain year.
