Celebrating 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

Hi! I’m an occupational therapist in a public school serving 3K- 5th grade. My students have been through so much recently, with the after effects of the pandemic still being felt. They need support to feel regulated and emotionally secure. Please help me add items to my OT space to support them. I’m asking for donations of sensory equipment like a weighted plush toy, sensory tent, inflatable chair and fidgets, as well as cleaning supplies and classroom supplies to keep the space clean and ready for the students. Thank you for your generous support, I really appreciate it!
