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

Dear Friends and Community,

Our PreK 3 classes, made up of 40 enthusiastic and curious children, need your support!

We want to provide them with a more comfortable and enriching learning environment. To do so, we need 40 small beds for their rest time and a creative art corner where they can freely express themselves.

Children in a PreK 3 class are at a pivotal stage of development where their creativity and need for rest are crucial for their growth. At this age, children thrive when given opportunities to express themselves, and a creative art corner provides them with the space to explore their imagination, enhance fine motor skills, and build confidence in their abilities.

Additionally, rest is equally important; comfortable small beds allow them to recharge, ensuring they can fully engage in learning activities throughout the day. A well-balanced environment that supports both creativity and rest fosters their emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being, setting the foundation for lifelong learning.

Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our goal. Your generosity will help us create a safe and inspiring space where these little ones can grow, learn, and dream big.

Thank you for being part of our children’s growth and happiness. Your support truly makes a difference!
