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

This project will provide basic hygiene products for our students at my Los Angeles high school with the majority of families experiencing limited economic resources. Many students face challenges affording essential items like floss, toothbrush, toothpaste, chapstick, hair ties, face wipes, etc.

With these supplies, students will be able to access them in a safe and confidential environment to increase mental health wellness, and confidence on campus.

Your contribution will empower students and enhance their daily lives, ensuring they can focus on learning without the burden of hygiene insecurity and obtain the resources they deserve.

Ms. Cerritos West Adams Preparatory Senior High School Grades 9-12
