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

Our Social Studies department lounge is more than just a room—it's the heart of our department. Every day, our team gathers here to eat, collaborate, and build the community that makes our school stronger. Unfortunately, the chairs in our lounge are over 30 years old, breaking apart, ripping, and covered in stains. We've repeatedly asked administration for replacements, but our requests have gone unanswered.

We need your help to bring new, sturdy, and comfortable chairs into our space!

This lounge is where we plan lessons, discuss how to better support our students, and find moments of rest during long school days. Having functional chairs would make a huge difference in our daily lives and allow us to continue fostering the camaraderie that makes our department so special.

Your generosity will directly impact the teachers who work tirelessly for our students. Any support—big or small—will help us create a more welcoming and comfortable space for years to come. Thank you for considering our project!
