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 always tell our students and our children to read more. When they read at home, it's in comfort: on the couch, on the bed, standing on their heads.

However, reading, writing, and thinking in schools is usually done on those hard stone or plastic chairs.

I would like for my students to have some comfortable alternatives, so that they can dive into their book or their work and get lost in it. I am requesting flexible seating exercise balls and reading pillows.

Most people think of elementary school classrooms when they think comfortable, but high schoolers deserve comfort too.

Ms. Bell Marie Curie High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
