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 beloved older school building in humid Miami, Florida is in need of a new dehumidifier for our class to create a healthier and more comfortable learning environment for our students. Excess moisture can lead to mold, allergens, and an overall unpleasant atmosphere, and we want to ensure our school remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone. Although our school does do everything in its power to help us remove these uncomfortable conditions, we are asking for additional help.

We’re reaching out to our community for donations to help us purchase a dehumidifier to help us keep our class dry.

Every contribution, big or small, brings us one step closer to providing better air quality for our students.
