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

Hi, I am a Special Education teacher who is currently working with students in the Horizon program (students with Autism). I’m reaching out to ask for your support in providing essential classroom supplies to help my students, manage anxiety and stay focused. Without the proper tools and resources, many of my students struggle to concentrate and engage in their work, which significantly impacts their mental health. By donating supplies like sensory items, organizational tools, and calming aids, you can make a real difference in creating a supportive environment where these students can thrive. Your generosity will help reduce their anxiety and create a space where all students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn.

Mental health is a critical part of student success, especially in the classroom.

When students feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed, it becomes incredibly difficult for them to focus, participate, and learn effectively. For students with autism, this challenge is even greater without the proper tools and a calming environment. By supporting mental health in schools, we are giving students the ability to manage their emotions, build confidence, and reach their full potential academically and socially. When mental health is prioritized, students are more likely to succeed and develop the skills they need for future challenges.

Your support in providing the supplies we need will help create a more inclusive, comfortable, and supportive space where all students can learn without the additional barriers of anxiety and distraction. Together, we can help foster a healthier, more productive learning environment for everyone.
