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

Providing pads, tampons, and heating pads will make a huge difference for my students. Having these essentials on hand means they won’t have to worry about being uncomfortable during school. This support will help them focus on their classes instead of stressing about their period.

I want to make sure every student has access to the hygiene products they need during their period and create a caring environment in our school.

The container boxes will help keep the items together so the our bathroom monitors can keep them outside of the bathroom so the students can have easy access to items they may need.
