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

Students at our middle school work tirelessly each day to reach their full potential. The chairs they use are hard plastic bolted onto metal. These lead to back issues, pain, and an overall lack of productivity.

Students who are supported and cared for blossom into dynamic and energetic scholars.

Please help provide ergonomic rolling swivel chairs for our class. Chairs that support our bodies, as well as our minds.

Your support means the world to these students. They will see on a daily basis the help that you provide as they work toward achieving their goals.
