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

My students are amazing, funny, kind, caring, and hard-working. Our afterschool program helps keep students safe and engaged with enrichment and academic classes at our low-income school. They love staying after school and have so much fun learning from their dedicated teachers and volunteers.

These flexible seating items will help support our students' focus while they are working on homework and participating in our after-school classes.

We give our students the opportunity to choose how they work which gives them ownership and empowers them to make the best decision for their success.
