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 a high school social worker, I witness every day how mental health affects our students’ ability to learn, connect, and thrive. Many students face challenges, from stress and anxiety to a lack of basic resources that support their well-being. With your support, we can provide essential resources—such as counseling materials, self-care items, and mental health programs—that empower students to manage stress and focus on their growth. Your generosity can truly transform lives, helping us build a more supportive, resilient school community.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful difference for our students.

Ms. Ayton High School of Fashion Industries Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
