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 are asking for your generous donations to help us purchase gardening tools for my first graders as we are learning about plants. These tools will help them explore the natural world around them and foster a love of nature in their young minds.

Your donations will go a long way in helping me give my students the opportunity to learn about the importance of nature and the environment.

Having our very own garden bed in our class will provide my class a hands-on and fun learning experience. It will also foster a sense of responsibility in caring for their garden and the excitement of watching it grow!
