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

Our students come with a lot of stuff; cot sheets, spare clothes, outerwear, etc. And currently their sheets and clothes and shoved into zip lock bags and stuffed onto shelves, making a very messy looking environment. We'd like to use these bins to hide their necessities and keep them sorted appropriately.

A clean and organized classroom provides room for clean thoughts and we need help.

We also want to teach our students about the importance of organizing trash for recycling. Currently we only have an old dingy trash can with no lid where everything gets dumped. We'd like to replace it with a trashcan with a lid for food products, and a paper recycling bin.

Thank you for your help in keeping our space sorted!
