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

Students experience a variety of emotions throughout the day that can impact their ability to be their best scholarly self. Items such as calming strips, fidgets and stress balls can help students in times when they may need tangible items to utilize in class. My goal for this project is to be able to provide students with items they can take and keep with them to be used throughout the school day or even when at home. Items such as Sand can be utilized by students while they visit the wellness space through out their day on campus. Your donations will contribute to the creation of our wellness space on campus.
