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

These seats would be very convenient for my students because they have desks/chairs that can make it difficult to move around the classroom. Having these chairs will make it a little more comfortable for my students to sit around the classroom to relax, work on classroom assignments, or do some partner reading.

Something as simple as having these seats will have my students excited about learning, by simply having these in my classroom.

In our classroom, we’re striving to create the best environment for learning, but our current seating is limiting our students' potential. Many of our chairs are old, uncomfortable, and no longer fit the needs of our students. We're hoping to raise funds to provide brand-new, comfortable, and supportive seating that will allow our students to focus better, engage more actively, and truly thrive in their education.

Each donation you make will directly support the purchase of a new chair for one of our students. With your help, we can ensure every student has a seat that helps them succeed.
