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

Imagine a space where every 6th-grade student feels calm, focused, and ready to learn—a classroom that inspires curiosity, creativity, and growth. This is the vision I have for my students.

Middle school can be a challenging time, and my goal is to create an environment where my students not only feel safe and supported but also thrive academically and emotionally.

A calm and enriching space helps students manage stress, focus on their learning, and build the skills they need for future success.

With your help, I can transform our classroom into a haven for learning—one that includes tools and resources to support mindfulness, flexible seating for comfort and collaboration, and engaging materials that spark curiosity and creativity. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to creating the kind of classroom where students feel inspired, supported, and ready to tackle challenges with confidence.

Your support will directly impact the lives of young learners, giving them the opportunity to excel in a space designed with their needs in mind. Together, we can make a difference for these students and their future.

Thank you for believing in the power of education and for helping us create a classroom where every student can shine!
