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

The spring season is around the corner and our classroom garden is getting ready! The garden serves as a valuable learning resource for our students, providing them with hands-on experience in science, nutrition, and environmental awareness.

To ensure a successful growing season in our classroom garden, we need your support in getting a variety of necessary materials and tools.

We currently need soil to provide optimal growing conditions for our plants. Seeds are needed to help us plant our plants in the planters that we are also requesting.

The contributions to this project will create a thriving classroom garden that plays an important role in fostering a love for learning through hands-on experiences. Moreover, the garden is vital for teaching students environmental responsibility and promotes healthy living.

Thank you for your support!

Ms. Emert
Grades 3-5
