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

Have you ever struggled to ask for help with something as normal as a period? #letstalkaboutperiods is a project for my bio-female students in the South Bronx, New York. The goal of this project is to eliminate the embarrassment and the uncomfortability that bio-females at the school feel every time they had to come to the classroom to ask other bio-females and staff members for pads during their time of the month. We want to ensure that bio-females have readily accessible pads in their restroom whenever they need it. We would greatly appreciate any contribution to our project.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
