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 students health means the world to me. When they’re sick they can’t attend school. So having cleaning wipes and tissue can help illuminate the spread of colds. When tissues attend school sick they can’t focus and their peers can’t focus. My students miss school when they are sick and feel bad. We clean our space as much as possible so with much more cleaning items it will be super clean. Also as we wind down the year we are entering testing. Many students can’t afford headphones to focus on their test so I’m hoping to give each student a pair of headphones so they can be successful.
