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.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
