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

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of the Health Office, where we work diligently to ensure the well-being of our students. As you can imagine, a well-equipped nurse's office is essential in helping us address the various health needs that arise throughout the school day.

To continue providing the best possible care for our middle school students, we are reaching out to our community for donations of essential supplies.

These items will help us maintain a safe and supportive environment where students can feel comfortable seeking help when needed. Below is a list of items that we are currently in need of:

• Bandages (variety of sizes)

• Antibacterial wipes

• Cold packs (instant)

• Tissues

• Stress relief items (like fidget toys or squeeze balls)

• Miscellaneous office supplies

Any contributions, whether large or small, will greatly benefit our students and help maintain a healthy and comfortable environment for them.
