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

Every year, we take sixth-grade students to science camp for a whole week. They hike, canoe, do archery etc., all day. When they come back, they have downtime to hang out and relax. We would like each cabin to have an activity box to keep them entertained and busy. When not at camp, I plan to use the supplies for rainy day recesses. With your support, we can give them the best sixth-grade camp experience and help them build lasting memories. The more activities they have, the more opportunities they have to bond with their classmates.
