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

I have an after school club and a classroom full of first graders that refer to themselves as Nature Explorers. They love learning about how we can take care of nature, so that it takes care of us.

Our mission is to learn about sustainability and ways to feed our community, beautify our campus and help the monarchs via our gardens.

We learn how to grow vegetables and herbs both indoors and outdoors that we get to eat and share with our school community. We need, soil. compost, fertilizers, watering cans, and cups to watch our seeds grow. We also maintain our Monarch Heroes Memorial Butterfly Garden in honor of one of our teachers, and can always use more milkweed plants. Finally, we keep our campus clean and free of trash with our dustpan, broom, trash grabbers and trash bags so that the beauty of our small green space can truly shine.

We hope you will support us in our endeavors to beautify our campus as we learn to grow flowers and vegetables both in class and in our after school program. We appreciate your support!
