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 school community is home to many students and families struggling to meet their basic needs, such as clothing, hygiene products, and food.

When students come to school without their basic needs being met, it is difficult for them to focus on what they are here to learn.

When students are happy and healthy, they are ready to take on the world!

With the help of my school, I intend to have donated clothing items, hygiene items, and snacks available for all students to try and provide for all basic needs so that students can come to school happy, healthy, and ready to learn.

Ms. Padilla PS 28 Wright Brothers Grades PreK-2
