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

Imagine a space where students can unwind, de-stress, and recharge—a peaceful, sensory-friendly room designed specifically for students with disabilities to feel safe and supported. Sounds great, right? Well, we’re making it happen, and we need your help to bring it to life!

We’re building a mental health relax room, and a few key items will help us transform this space into a calming haven:

Moon and star lights to create a serene, dreamlike atmosphere perfect for relaxing and finding peace.

Cardstock, ink, and laminating supplies to craft bold, motivational posters that will uplift students and brighten their spirits.

Utensils and lunch supplies so they can enjoy meals in a tranquil environment, free from distractions and overstimulation.

By helping fund these items, you’re contributing to a place where students can thrive emotionally, mentally, and academically—a true oasis for self-care.
