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

We are an early childhood center and service pre-k students who need their rest in the middle of our school day. Our cots are very old and many are damaged. We would love to replace them in order to provide our students with sturdy and valuable sleep. This project would provide new cots for all of our students to rest. The cot carrier, individual student labels, and stuffed animals would facilitate the use of the cots during rest time.

These cots are essential in providing an environment where our students can rest and be ready to learn.

Your donations are truly appreciated!
