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

Join me in transforming a first-grade classroom in an underserved community. I am a passionate teacher who needs help in providing a welcoming and dynamic learning space for my kids. Children who hear the word equality more than equity.

We’re seeking donations for essential items, such as the portable desks and bean bags for flexible seating.

Flexible seating encourages collaboration, communication, and a sense of community among students. It also supports physical health by allowing movement and varied postures, which can lead to improved comfort and reduced restlessness. By fostering a more inclusive and adaptable classroom, flexible seating helps every student thrive academically and socially. These supplies will create a comfortable and engaging environment where students can thrive. Your contribution will directly impact these young learners and the ones to follow. Together, we can make a lasting difference in their education. Thank you for your generosity!
