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 hope when you read this you are in the best of health. I am asking for some essential items like mats. I try to get new ones every two years because through wear in tear it becomes very difficult to keep it in good condition. Children will have accidents and they make holes in it so I'm asking for new ones.

We also have children that never bring in sheets for their mats so if we have them they each will have one for their mat.

I also asked for blankets to keep them snug on their mats. If they rest well then they will finish their day happily. I am really grateful for your support with keeping my babies comfortable as well as safe.
