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

To create a more dynamic and comfortable learning environment, I am seeking donations to provide flexible seating options for my students. This project includes a classroom rug to define a cozy space for group activities, lightweight stools for easy mobility and collaboration, and seat pillows to make floor seating more comfortable for reading and independent work.

My students are active and enjoy hands-on, real-world experiences, so they will thrive with these new seating options.

If funded, these additions will allow students to choose seating that best supports their learning style, encouraging movement and collaboration while improving focus and engagement. With a classroom that caters to their needs, my students will be empowered to learn, grow, and contribute in meaningful ways.
