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

Although my Pre-Kinders will benefit mostly from this portable heat/air conditioner in the spring and fall allergy seasons, it will be utilized all year long! My school does have heating and air conditioning, but the system is often down. We are in need of a portable heating/cooling system to help us not only stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but breath fresh air. We are currently in a mask wearing district and we have a lot of itchy, watery eyes and noses. Keeping the air inside the classroom clean and healthy will help keep my students healthy and focused!
