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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are a great group of young women & men that attend a Title I, K-8 school in the inner city of Charlotte, NC. These young adults are excited to be back in school where they are growing socially & learning is a priority to them.

My Project

These water bottles will be used to help the students stay hydrated during the school day while helping them to stay safe. Keeping the students safe is a priority to me and these water bottles will assist me because this will eliminate the students attempting to use the drinking fountains. On a daily basis, I have to turn away a number of students from using the drinking fountains because they do not have a water bottle. Please help me combat this issue and keep our students safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
