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 community is a unique and special place. We want to enhance the sensory supports to meet the needs of all our students.

Sensory needs for all students no matter their ability!

Help us enhance our sensory calming room by helping us get the tools we need. Sensory tools will help when the students at our school need a break or a safe place to calm down.

Our goal is to teach our students social emotional skills so that they can successful learn and be an active part of our school community.
