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

Your donation would provide my adult special needs students with a calming areas to decompress and rejuvenate themselves. For most students, day in and day out activities, are completed with small breaks and screen time. My type of students need a safe place with mats and large bean bags in order to stimulate sensory needs and relax while decompressing. This donation will be used daily and at different times of the day. Please help us by providing a nice, calming zone for my adult special needs students. All my students would be so grateful for your generous support.
