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

I love how my students are eager to engage in hands-on projects and collaborate in our CTE elective courses. They are creative, curious, and always ready to tackle new challenges!

We recently received brand-new workbenches to enhance our learning space, but we now need sturdy stools to complete our setup.

These stools will provide students with comfortable, functional seating as they design, build, and innovate. Additionally, the chair and stool foot covers will help protect our floors and reduce noise, creating a better learning environment for everyone.

With your support, we can give students the workspace they need to focus, create, and thrive in our CTE program!
