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'm reaching out to help bring more comfort, focus, and joy to my classroom. We’re working on making our learning space more inclusive and student-centered by adding fidget tools and flexible seating options—and we could really use your support!

Fidget toys may seem small, but they make a huge difference for students who need to move to focus.

They help reduce anxiety, increase concentration, and create a calmer classroom environment. Flexible seating—like wobble chairs and egg chairs—gives students the choice to learn in a way that best fits their needs.

Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact students who learn better when they’re able to move, wiggle, or just sit differently. If you’re able to help, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If not, sharing this with others would mean the world!
