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

As the school nurse, I witness the incredible resilience and determination of our students every day. To support their well-being and ensure they can focus on learning, I am requesting donations of underclothes, menstrual tool kits, and oral care products. These essential items will help our students feel comfortable, confident, and ready to engage in their education without the distraction of unmet basic needs.

Our goal is to eliminate barriers that might hinder our students' ability to learn and grow.

By providing these resources, we can help every student feel secure and supported, allowing them to thrive in the classroom. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of our students, who bring unique perspectives and a strong desire to learn despite any challenges they may face.
