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 school district is not unlike other school districts in that it requires the use of large amounts of recyclable material, especially paper.

If we were able to provide each teacher with the resources (recycling bins) she needs to recycle we could create the momentum we need to initiate a school-wide recycling program!

We cannot continue to throw away valuable resources and still teach students the value of stewardship and conservation when we take away their ability to demonstrate the very values we hope to instill in them.

Our students are eager to recycle. They have already learned a lot about the need to recycle and while we have reduced our carbon footprint in small ways by reducing the amount of energy we use, reusing the resources that we can and recycling in our classroom, we have yet to create the ability for our entire school to participate in what could be the first school-wide recycling program in our district.

Please help us with any donation you can manage. Thank you.
