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 want to create flexible seating opportunities and safe sensory spaces for our high school students. These spaces will provide students with a variety of seating options and sensory tools to help them focus, regulate their emotions, and feel more comfortable in the classroom.

This project will have a significant impact on our students' learning and well-being.

Flexible seating and sensory spaces can help students to:

Improve focus and attention

Reduce stress and anxiety

Feel more comfortable and supported in the classroom

Develop self-regulation skills

We are asking for your help to fund this important project for flexible seating and fidgets, fabric and other resources. Any amount you can donate will make a difference. Please consider donating today to help create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for our students.

Thank you for your support!

Ms. Medina PS 035 Grades 9-12
