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

This project would fund an experience not expected to be available again till 2044! My kids needs some solar eclipse glasses to see the Solar Eclipse in April.

It would be wonderful if my students could have certified safe glasses in time for the Eclipse.

It is these small experiences that the students will remember in high school. This small gesture could inspire them to look up at the sky a little more, or perhaps a career in science. I would love to give this gift to my students, but I need your help to fund glasses for 185 students.
