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

I am reaching out to request your support for our classroom of students with autism. We strive to create an environment that fosters warmth, care, and security.

We are in need of the following items to help our students feel comfortable, secure, and better equipped to focus on learning:

Weighted Blankets: These provide calming sensory input for students who experience anxiety.

Stuffed Animals: A source of comfort and emotional support.

Flexible Seating: Allows students to choose a comfortable space for learning, which enhances focus and reduces stress.

Healthy Snacks: To meet students’ hunger needs and prevent distractions during the day.
