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 would like to give my students flexible options to sit and read or work with a clipboard. Ultimately, students are most engaged in a comfortable learning space, so providing outside seating will be a huge motivation to read. Alternative seating can provide a fun option inside our small space for students to relax and learn. Our Title I school students would greatly benefit from your help to extend and refresh our learning environment. Having a fun seating option will put a smile on their faces. Thank you for your donations!
