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 am asking for cushions for my students to use in the computer lab. With the pandemic going on we are trying to keep students at a safe distance away from each other. One way we do that in the computer lab is to allow for flexible seating. Some students choose to stay at their desk, some work on the countertop with a taller chair and others choose to take their laptop or tablet and sit on the floor. I want the students sitting on the floor to be more comfortable, so I am requesting these cushions. They can move these easily and choose where they want to sit.
