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

My students are learning and exploring as young students in and outside of the classroom. As the weather warms up and my kindergarten students are eager to spend more time outdoors, I am seeking donations to enhance our outdoor games and activities for outdoor play.

This new equipment will provide my students fun and engaging ways to play and be active outside.

In addition to outdoor games and activities, we are also in need of a cart to transport and store the equipment for easy access. My students are very excited every time they get to play outside and I hope to continue to foster this love for playing and learning outside!
