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

My after school students are amazing, funny, kind, caring, and resilient. Our after school program helps keep students safe once the school bell rings at the end of the day. We provide engaging enrichment and academic classes at our low-income school. They love staying afterschool and have so much fun learning from their dedicated teachers and volunteers.

With your help, we can support our low-income students with hands-on manipulatives that support STREAM subjects.

Our students will work collaboratively and independently with these Osmo kits that support fine-motor skills and cognitive skills.
