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

I am reaching out to express my commitment to supporting our students and to propose a donation of hygiene products for those in need. Hygiene products are essential for maintaining health and dignity, yet many individuals and families in our area struggle to access basic items such as feminine hygiene products, and other everyday necessities. Receiving these items will help ease the burden on families and provide our students with a sense of dignity. To help address this issue, I would like to request donations for these very necessary items.
