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

My students are a diverse and eager group of kids growing up in South Central LA. I'm a strong believer in that the environment can impact how students feel and how they learn. With this project I would like to provide my students with a more welcoming and comfortable environment. We currently have the regular desks and chairs. As well as a saucer chair that most of the students enjoy and was donated by a colleague.

This project would provide the students access to standing desks, ottomans, and storage.

I have students that have trouble staying put in their chairs and having standing desks would give them a healthy alternative to sitting. The students enjoy the saucer chair, but one is not enough for 100+ students. Thus the ottomans would also provide an alternative for seating and give the saucer chair a break.

K275 appreciates your donations and sends many thank you's!
