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

We are excited to introduce a Nature and Classroom Pet Project in our Pre-K classroom to provide hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity, responsibility, and empathy. To bring this project to life, we are seeking donations to help us create a small indoor garden, a nature exploration area, and a safe, low-maintenance classroom pet for our young learners to care for and observe. Your generous support will allow us to provide essential supplies such as plants, containers, pet habitat materials, and educational resources to enrich our students' learning environment. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful impact in helping our children connect with nature and develop lifelong skills. Thank you for your support!
