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

Help me give my students Cozy bean bags, board games, engaging books, and exciting prizes to create a welcoming atmosphere for the 2025-2026 school year. We are reaching out to request your generous support in enhancing our educational environment. Specifically, we are looking for:

**Flexible Seating Options**: Comfortable and adaptive seating arrangements, such as bean bags and modular furniture, encourage collaboration and creativity while allowing students to choose their preferred learning space.

**Engaging Books**: A diverse collection of captivating books suitable for various reading levels and interests. We aim to cultivate a love for reading and promote literacy by offering stories that inspire imagination and learning.

**Indoor Recess Alternatives**: Innovative and enjoyable activities or equipment for indoor recess, such as board games. These alternatives keep students active, engaged, and entertained during indoor playtime, especially on rainy days.

Your contributions will significantly enhance our classroom experience and support our students' growth and enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for considering our request; your generosity truly makes a difference!
