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 year is beginning and my 5th graders need to keep cool and fresh! For this project, I am looking for sponsors to support providing my students with hydro flasks to keep them hydrated throughout the school day while playing, and while learning in the classroom.

When using these flasks, my students will be avoiding the usage of one-time plastic water bottles which will help reduce plastic pollution in our community.

I am also asking you to help me fund dividers for students when working on assessments for privacy, a stationary calendar, and some pencil bags to keep at stations.
