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

In our kindergarten classroom, keeping our learning environment organized and safe is essential, especially for our newcomer students who are adjusting to a new school. We have gathered various materials to support their learning, but we've encountered occasional issues with pests, which puts these resources at risk. We're requesting plastic bins with secure lids to protect and organize these valuable materials. These bins will help keep our materials safe from critters, dust, and damage, ensuring that our students always have clean and undamaged tools for learning. Additionally, the bins will make it easier for students to access what they need, fostering responsibility and independence independently. Your support in funding this project will create a safer, more organized classroom where all students can focus on learning without worry. Thank you for helping us provide the best possible environment for our students!
