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

Help provide materials for our science project. This year, we are planning a hands-on solar system project that aims to engage our students in the wonders of space and science.

This project will not only enhance their understanding of the solar system but also foster creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.

To bring this project to life, we are in need of materials such as foam balls to represent planets, paint brushes for decorating, and poster boards to create informative displays.

I am reaching out to ask for your generous support in helping us acquire these materials. Any contribution, big or small, would make a significant difference in our students' educational experience. Your support will enable us to create a vibrant, interactive learning environment that inspires curiosity and excitement about the universe.
