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

Our current benches have seen better days! They aren't the cleanest, safest, or most comfortable no matter how hard our wonderful custodial staff tries to maintain them.

We need new benches that are comfortable and safe for our students to sit on before school, at recess, at lunch, after school or whenever they are in the outdoor area.

These benches would also be helpful resting stops for any disabled students or staff. Bit by bit, we are trying to update our campus and provide the best environment for our students!
