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

This project is to promote pollination efforts within our community. Within this project, we will plant flowers to attract pollinators to our school garden, send home birdhouses and seeds that attract pollinators to our home gardens, and provide habitats for pollinators on our school grounds.

Spring is a great time for our little learners to take action to help the environment!

Teaching environmental responsibility will allow future generations to benefit from our efforts. This project will reach students across the whole school community but also our surrounding community will benefit from our pollination efforts.
