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

My amazing students work hard every day. They are eager to learn and come to school ready to work. However, they are in need of some new materials to help enhance their experience. Please help my students receive materials to help make their days easier.

The students will be able to use all the new materials to help make their day a little brighter.

Having a color changing jellyfish lava lamp for use during sensory breaks will allow the students to feel calm and ready to work again.

The new materials in this project will help my students in so many unique ways.
