Warm and Welcoming

Help me give my students feel warm and welcomed when they come back from summer break

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hernandez's classroom raised $493

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

Creating a warm, welcoming environment is essential for helping students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. As my students return to school, I want to provide items that make our classroom a comforting and inviting place where they can thrive. This project will include cozy seating, calming decorations, and essential supplies to create a space that feels like a second home.

Many of my students face challenges outside of school, so having a warm and welcoming classroom helps them feel cared for, valued, and ready to focus on learning and growing.

Ms. Hernandez Intermediate School 181 Pablo Casals Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
