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

We need new Cots for students to rest in our classroom. Rest contributes to a child's physical and mental growth, aids in learning and retention and keeps them active and cheerful. Children need sleep to keep them healthy and happy, as their teacher I would like to offer my students with the essential cots they need to get adequate rest. Our current cots are old, wornout, and most of them have ripped. Students need cots that are not ripped or creaked to be able to rest comfortable on a firm cot.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
