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

Art classrooms can be a place where students can explore, strive, and create. This usually means making a mess. We have a crew of custodians but they are stretched thin and mostly empty the trash. My floors get really dirty and I don’t have the time to truly clean the way it should be done.

We need a leaf blower that can get within those hard-to-reach areas.

Using a leaf blower would make the floor look clean and make my room a fun and pleasant space where students can get work done.
