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

Kiddos continue to struggle with their mental health since Covid. Mental health supports for children need to be a priority in our schools and communities.

It is our hope to address these needs by re-envisioning our school with a Counseling Center to create a warm, welcoming place where students, staff, and families can access supports.

Please help our efforts by donating to buy play therapy toys, alternative seating for one-one counseling sessions, rugs and pillows to define cozy spaces, and tubs to organize materials.

Thank you for helping us prioritize the mental health of our students.

Ms. Ryan Baker Elementary School Grades 3-5
