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

This donation will help my class to develop good habits and a routine. Routines are very important in our daily lives at school and home. With the toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss, good hygiene routines are developed. It also affects social skills and better communication between the students.

Good personal hygiene will also have the students to feel more successful and more relaxed during the entire class day.

We appreciate your donation and happy brushing to all. Students will also learn responsibility as well in their daily life and school life.

Ms. Lacey Southmayd Elementary School Grades 3-5
