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 Students

My students are special because each and every one of them is unique, hard-working, caring, funny, full of perseverance, and most of all they are our FUTURE! These students will be our future doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, politicians, and those that will be taking care of us.

My Project

My students need their own reusable water bottles in order to drink water and refill throughout the day. These water bottles will help us stay hydrated while at school. Due to Covid19 we are not allowed to use the water fountains.

These water bottles will help prevent us from spreading germs and the water filter will give us access to healthy clean water in our own classroom.

The water filter will be installed in our classroom sink. It will be used throughout the day to refill the water bottles with clean and healthy water.
