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

Creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for my high school students is essential for fostering focus, creativity, and positive learning experiences. With your support through Donors Choose, I hope to provide items like flexible seating and soft lighting to make the space feel more inviting. A comfortable classroom can help students feel more at ease, especially when they’re tackling challenging material or engaging in social-emotional activities. I want all students to feel like they belong.

Your donation will directly impact their ability to feel safe and supported, creating an atmosphere where they can thrive academically and emotionally.
