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 requesting flexible seating and softer lighting for a comfortable learning space. I am currently an ICT teacher whose students enjoy moving around the classroom and I would like to create a safe space for my students to unwind and relax when they are feeling overwhelmed from a rigorous work load. This year I had chairs that were from 5 below. After 2 weeks they broke after being used so much. This is why I am requesting more sturdy and comfortable chairs for students to benefit from for years to come.

I am grateful any support.

Thanks in advance.

Ms. Caraballo John Dewey High School Grades 9-12
