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

Students love and enjoy visiting the Wellness Center where they can visit to either reset their day or receive support. The Wellness Center offers students individual counseling support from School Social Workers and other Mental Health Support staff. The Wellness Center can use more tools such as comfortable sitting items where students can practice mindfulness and grounding activities when they visit. Students love using sensory tools such as kinetic sand, calming strips and meditation pillows to assist them in feeling calm and grounded.

The Wellness Center serves as a resource for students to attend and receive Mental Heath support as well as emotional wellbeing when they are feeling overwhelmed.

Often times students need gentle reminders about the positive things in their lives and using posters to hang in this space will be beneficial for them.
