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

Students from nations all over the world immigrate to our city with their families. The city, although economically poor in many areas, is rich in cultures and heritage from all corners of the world. We have a growing population of Hispanic immigrants, most speaking their native language, Spanish. Many of our students, both native and non-native, struggle to meet basic classroom needs each day. This means that it is extra important for us to make sure they have a school filled with essential items and social-emotional learning materials that they can access at any time. Their social/emotional well-being depends on knowing that they are free to use these materials that will not run out and that they are supported in all that they do! I am part of a planning team for a carnival for students at the end of the year to show them how much they are cared for!

The items I am requesting will provide our students with a tent for shade during a school carnival that will help us support the students' personal well-being - I am requesting a shaded mesh tent for students to use at our booths during the event.

This canopy will go a long way in ensuring our students feel cared for by the staff and supported in their social-emotional learning. I am requesting items to create booths for our outdoor carnival. Students will be able to use the booths all day.
