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
Have you ever been too cold to concentrate on your work? This is how many students feel, especially when the AC is running at our school. Our youngest learners are easily distracted, and being cold is one more distraction that we can address. "How do we do this?" you may ask. Well, we provide students with sweatshirts if they do not have them to keep them warm.
Providing students with cozy sweatshirts to keep them warm is the best way to keep their young minds focused on the learning at hand.
The children being loaned these sweatshirts may be in households that can not afford to add this accessory to their school ensemble.
Thank you in advance for stopping by and considering this project.
