Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

My Project

We're aiming to keep our students healthy and environmentally conscious by providing each of them with a reusable water bottle.

Why It Matters:

Ensuring our students stay hydrated is essential for their ability to focus and learn effectively. Additionally, by utilizing reusable bottles, we can actively reduce our environmental footprint, teaching valuable lessons about sustainability and responsible consumption.

Your Support:

Your contribution not only provides a practical resource but also empowers our students to make informed choices that positively impact their well-being and the planet. Thank you for being a part of this important initiative!
