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

Keeping kids healthy is the best way to help promote positive attendance at school! To help do that we must do everything in our power to keep kids healthy and free of a germy environment. These items (tissues, paper towels, soap, etc.) will help ensure we have a clean space and my students have the resources they need to stay healthy and ready for school each day. Tissues are one of our most frequently used items during the year. Whether it's illness or allergies, my little ones are always going through tissues! These resources again, will help us fight germs to keep us healthy and in school.
