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

As the school psychologist, I have witnessed a significant increase in the number of neurodivergent students at our school. Unfortunately, our current furniture and classroom environment are not conducive to meeting their unique needs, and the school budget does not allow for the necessary upgrades. To create a more inclusive and supportive environment, I am requesting donations for specific items that would greatly benefit our neurodivergent students. These include swivel/rocking chairs, which allow movement while sitting, fidget toys to help maintain focus, a diffuser to promote calm and concentration, and snacks to provide energy and motivation, particularly during testing. Your donation will help create an environment where all students can thrive, and I hope you will consider contributing to this vital cause.
