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

Do you know that sometimes school is the safest place for students? My students will benefit from having a relaxing morning with STEM Bins.

One of the hardest things to get are STEM Bins.

With your help, this would allow an easier way to smooth in my students into a quiet morning routine, it will allow for students to show their creativity, enhance their learning with STEM Bins.

Please consider donating to make a class set for my students and I to enjoy/keep these for them.

They will benefit from them so much. Thank you!
